“Airports - they're not my idea of fun at all. Some of the staff are lovely, but you do always get one or two that seem to forget that it's actually costing you a lot of money to be there and be insulted by their surliness. Times have obviously changed and we need to get used to being more strictly vetted, but they could be more pleasant about it. A smile wouldn't go amiss.”

“Aisling tumbled out, his gold eyes going wild about the room to take in all of them. His beak clicked as he worked it in silence. Then, as the breaking of ice may bring a cascade of water from winter’s falls, the griffin’s voice—no longer that small shrill copy of Taryn’s, but his own true voice—poured plaintively from him. “Mom!” Taryn jerked around, her mouth dropping open. Aisling bounded toward her and she swept him up into a tight embrace. He clutched at her shoulders with his talons, burying his head under her chin, and cried, “Mom! Yoo…rrrrr…oh…kay!” “Great gods,” Antilles heard himself say and he shot Tonka a startled glance. “He cannot be speaking?!” The horseman merely smiled. “And why not?” he murmured, resettling himself on his padded bolster. “For has he not been a miracle from the very first?” “You’re talking,” Taryn cried, true delight painting itself over the grief that had seemed to mask her since the dawning of this terrible day. She was radiant once more, burning with a joy and a healing light all its own as she hugged her griffin close. “Oh, my fierce prince! My big boy!” “Yoo…rrrr…Ai-sing,” whispered the griffin. His raptor’s eyes flicked to Antilles and his naked wings fluttered. “Tilly. Yoo…rrrr…sun-shy?” Taryn giggled, her face pressed to fur. “Aye, lad,” Antilles said, tossing his broken horn. “My sun and my moon and all my starry skies.”

“Així s’expressa el temps, sense cap llei d’impietat, i és bo saber-ho i dir-ho per assajar de viure amb els sentits i els sentiments en perpètua vigília. Mirar la vida cara a cara és un recomanable i prudent exercici d’humilitat, una activa i discreta conspiració que ens apropa a aquell nucli tan oblidat de nosaltres mateixos en què a vegades és dur descobrir-se. Créixer també és saber que la tristesa i fins i tot l’afront no són, per sort, exclusiva dels vils, sinó un grotesc patrimoni de tots, i que pels ulls dels marginats, dels pobres, dels vençuts, se’ns en va a tots plegats el goig de viure harmoniosament i amb alegria.”

“AJ knew he should stop the fight. Still, the sight of a little girl - no younger than himself, though smaller - pounding on the commander’s bully of a son made him pause. He watched in open-mouthed admiration as her fists rained down on Holden’s face. This fleshy boy transforming into a snotty-nosed, crying lump of flesh was the same one who’d bloodied AJ’s nose a week ago. She’s taking him, AJ realized.”

“Ajamu Baraka is a human rights advocate and an international human rights advocate, who's been defending racial justice, economic justice, worker justice, indigenous justice, and justice for black and brown people all over the world, and in the United States has been helping to lead the charge against the death penalty here, and is an extremely eloquent and empowering person. And one of the great things about running with him is that we speak to all of America.”

“Ajatus jäi sanomatta. Menneet olivat menneitã, turha niillä oli itseään vaivata. Nainen oli kuitenkin mukautuva kappale, joka asettui sille paikalle joka hänelle annettin. Hän venyi ja taipui ja muokkautui vaimoksi ja äidiksikin, kasvoi sielusta, sisältä, joka puolelta. Hän antoi myöten kuin rannan paju mutta oli myös yhtä sitkeä. Hän versoi ja kasvoi ja kurottui sellaiseen, johon hänen ei uskottu yltävän, täytti vaaditut roolit ja ylitti ne. Sitä paitsi anteeksianto oli vaikeaa, mutta hän oli onnistunut siinä.”

“Ajax Kane's POV “I think I have a new nickname for you,” I hum. “And what would that be?” “Hurricane.” “That’s an odd one. Usually people equate me to sunshine.” Margaret groans as she turns around and swings her legs on either side of my thighs, transitioning the back and forth swivel to steady rotations on my lap. “That’s because they don’t know you like I do baby. Sometimes you like to stir up some trouble. Cause a little chaos. Other times you come ripping through hard enough to make a man need to start his whole life over.”
