Quote by Lisa Fipps

“The secret to surviving childhood so far has been knowing when to keep my mouth shut. But I am not a child anymore. I have feelings. have thoughts. have the right to express them both.”

“Moriarty smiled his adder’s smile. And I relaxed. I knew. My destiny and his wound together. It was a sensation I’d never got before upon meeting a man. When I’d had it from women, the upshot ranged from disappointment to attempted murder. Understand me, Professor James Moriarty was a hateful man, the most hateful, hateable, creature I have ever known, not excluding Sir Augustus and Kali’s Kitten and the Abominable Bloody Snow-Bastard and the Reverend Henry James Prince. He was something man-shaped that had crawled out from under a rock and moved into the manor house. But, at that moment, I was his, and I remain his forever. If I am remembered, it will be because I knew him. From that day on, he was my father, my commanding officer, my heathen idol, my fortune and terror and rapture.”

“Cuando los niños estaban conmigo, pensaba que tenían vidas ordenadas y sencillas. A diferencia de cuando vivíamos todos en familia, apenas me enfadaba con ellos. Casi todo lo que hacían me parecía bien. Lejos de Pat, sin esa supervisión insoportable, sin esos constantes requerimientos de atención y respuesta, mi furia se esfumaba. Dejé de ser la intermediaria entre el capataz y los peones, la responsable de todo. La mujer que acababa el día hecha jirones y que era remendada durante la noche con el único propósito de poder ser despedazada de nuevo a la mañana siguiente.”

“Los padrastros empiezan perdiendo la ruidosa batalla de la legitimidad. Pero de pronto alguien va y dice: «Mi padrastro fue mi verdadero padre». Yo quiero escuchar esas historias. Tal vez todos los padres somos, en el fondo, padrastros de nuestros hijos. La biología nos asegura un lugar en sus vidas, pero igual ansiamos que nos elijan como padres. Que alguna vez digan esta frase tan maravillosamente rara: mi padre fue mi verdadero padre.”
