“Ze všeho nejvíce Gausse rozčilovaly stále nové a nové pokusy různých geometrů dokázat pátý postulát. Nyní, když znal nový geometrický svět, když do něj bezpečně nahlížel, odhaloval v těchto domnělých důkazech chybu vždy hned při prvním pohledu. Jasně viděl, jak geometři tápají v tmách, jak plýtvají silami na těchto beznadějných pokusech - a pomoci jim nemohl; nesměl.”

“Wilhelmina e Emilienne, posteriormente, acrescentaram bolos de casamento ao repertório de doces depois que o querido professor do ensino médio, Ignatius Lux, casou-se com Estelle Margolis em uma pequena cerimônia na igreja luterana. A comemoração terminou com um bolo de quatro andares assado por Emilienne especialmente para a ocasião. Noivo e noiva compartilharam sorrisos felizes, mas era do bolo que os convidados se lembravam - o recheio de creme de baunilha, a cobertura de creme de manteiga, o leve gosto de framboesas que certamente haviam sido acrescentadas à massa. Ninguém levou para casa pedaços de bolo para colocar debaixo do travesseiro na esperança de sonhar com o futuro cônjuge; em vez disso, os convidados de Ignatius Lux e Estelle Margolis comeram-no todo e, depois, tiveram que sonhar que o estavam comendo novamente. Após essa festa de casamento, as solteiras acordavam à noite com lágrimas nos olhos, não porque estavam sozinhas, mas porque não havia mais bolo de casamento. Desnecessário dizer que o bolo, mais tarde, tornou-se um dos itens mais populares da padaria, encomendado em todo evento, grande ou pequeno.”

“É incrível, mas às vezes a gente não se dá conta de como o tempo passa rápido. Num instante eu era a criança viada mais linda do Brasil, com franjinha, pele perfeita e bochechas rechonchudas, e no outro não passava de um ex-espinhento jovem universitário, parcialmente barbado, pronto pra passar a noite enchendo a cara e, quem sabe, de quebra ainda abalar umas bocas.”

“Dovrà imparare a stabilire dei limiti e a farli conoscere alla persone che la circondano. La sua personalità la induce spesso a cercare di compiacere gli altri: una forma di sovradattamento cronico ai bisogni del prossimo a danno dei propri. Per natura lei è molto empatica, ma anche se è buona cosa occuparsi del benessere altrui, non bisogna confondere l'empatia "asciutta" con l'empatia "bagnata"! Con quest'ultima ci si fa carico del pathos dell'altro, si assorbono le sue emozioni negative e si finisce per stare male a propria volta. Con l'empatia asciutta, invece, si riesce ad ascoltare i problemi di chi ci sta attorno senza per questo farsi contaminare dagli umori nefasti. Smetta di essere troppo gentile; sia semplicemente autentica nelle sue emozioni e impari a dire di volta in volta cosa la disturba. Per esprimere ciò che sente è meglio una FESTA: F sta per i Fatti che l'hanno contrariata, E: esprima la sua emozione, S: pensi a una soluzione vantaggiosa per entrambi, TA: proponga un Terreno d'Accordo, un punto d'incontro.”

“Toss me one of your pencils!" "Have you gone mad?" I cried even as I removed the pencil from my cloak pocket and threw it at his head. It began to transform before it even reached him, elongating and flashing through the shadows--- a sword. I regretted aiming for his head then, but Wendell caught it with the grace of a trained swordsman, which of course he was. Watching Wendell with a sword is like watching a bird leap from a branch--- there is something thoughtless about it, innate. One has the sense that he is less himself without a sword, that wielding it returns him to the element most natural to him. He drove the sword into the nearest sheerie, and before it had fallen he had spun round to slash at the one behind him, slicing it open like overripe fruit. The other three fell just as easily.”

“Those who have abandoned belief must still believe in us. They are sure that they are right not to believe but they know belief must not fade completely. Hell is when no one believes. There must always be believers. Fools, idiots, those who hear voices, those who speak in tongues. We are your lunatics. We surrender our lives to make your nonbelief possible. You are sure that you are right but you don’t want everyone to think as you do. There is no truth without fools. We are your fools, your madwomen, rising at dawn to pray, lighting candles, asking statues for good health, long life.”

“This queen seems no better." He came close to me, looking me up and down as a glint of mischief came into his eyes. "But mortals can be entertaining. And they do not break as easily as some think." Wendell's expression went from one of bemusement to towering fury with such abruptness that both Taran and I fell back a step; Taran afterwards looked annoyed as a cat following a moment of gracelessness. There came a terrible rumbling sound, coupled with that same wet rustling with which I am all too familiar, as if the attentive oaks were uprooting themselves en masse and lumbering in our direction. "You are speaking to a queen of Faerie," Wendell said, and it seemed as if the rustling leaves were in his voice.”
