“It's not the same for you. You wanted a quiet life full of books and facts. You wanted to record the battles, not be in them. There is nothing wrong with you. You get to be angry that you killed a man today. You get to be angry that man tried to kill your friend. You get to feel however you want within these walls.' He's close enough now that I can feel his body heat through the thin cotton of my dressing gown. 'But not outside them.' It's not a question. 'We're riders,' he says, as if that's explanation enough. He takes hold of my hands and brings them to his chest. 'So do whatever you need to get it out. You want to yell? Yell at me. You want to hit something? Hit me. I can take it.' Hitting him is the last thing I want to do, and suddenly, I'm done fighting it. 'Come on,' he whispers. 'Show me what you've got.' I surge up on my toes and kiss him.”

“Ήξερε ότι, από τη στιγμή που θα φιλούσε αυτό το κορίτσι και θα πάντρευε τα ανείπωτα οράματά του με τη θνητή της ανάσα, το μυαλό του δεν θα φτερούγιζε ξανά ανέμελο αποδώ κι αποκεί, όπως το μυαλό του Θεού. Έτσι δίστασε για λίγο, περιμένοντας ν΄ ακούσει ακόμα μία φορά τον ήχο που έβγαλε το διαπασών χτυπώντας σ’ ένα αστέρι. Μετά τη φίλησε. Με το άγγιγμα των χειλιών του εκείνη άνθισε για χάρη του σαν λουλούδι και η ενσάρκωση είχε ολοκληρωθεί.”
