Quote by Gaelen Foley

“They had terrorized this poor, defenseless beauty. He would make them rue it. As for Kate, after all she had been through, she had impressed him with her self-possession, to say nothing of her fiery spirit. She had stood there ready to battle him like some spunky little terrier barking at a wolf, aye, and throwing the greater predator into temporary confusion with her unexpected show of ferocity. Though petite of build, she was large in courage, a little lady of intrepid spirit”

“Quero hoje dizer-te uma coisa, algo que já sei há bastante tempo, e que também tu já sabes, mas talvez ainda não o tenhas dito a ti mesmo. Dir-te-ei agora aquilo que sei a respeito de mim, de ti e do nosso destino. Tu, Harry, foste um artista e um pensador, uma pessoa repleta de alegria e fé, sempre no encalço do grandioso e do eterno, nunca satisfeito com o formoso e o pequeno. Porém, quanto mais a vida te fez despertar e te devolveu a ti mesmo, tanto maior se tornou a tua miséria, mais profundamente te viste mergulhado no sofrimento, na inquietação e no desespero, até ao pescoço, e tudo aquilo que outrora consideraste, amaste e veneraste como belo e sagrado, toda a fé que em tempos tiveste nos seres humanos e no nosso elevado destino foi incapaz de te ajudar, tornou-se inútil e estilhaçou-se. A tua fé deixou de conseguir ter ar para respirar. E a asfixia é uma dura forma de morrer. Não é assim, Harry? É esse o teu destino?”

“I've lost so many battles than I can even remember. What I never knew, though, was that I was actually stronger than I thought I was.”

“In everything, almost in everything, I wrote I was guided by the need of collecting ideas which, linked together, would be the expression of myself, though each individual idea, expressed separately in words, loses its meaning, is horribly debased when only one of the links, of which it forms a part, is taken by itself. But the interlinking of these ideas is not, I think, an intellectual process, but something else, and it is impossible to express the source of this interlinking directly in words; it can only be done indirectly by describing images, actions, and situations in words.”
