I didn't really believe it, of course, but a large part of the country seemed to believe Hillary represented an existential threat to the proper order of things.”

“Emotions, whims and lies, fascinations and games. Feelings and their absence. Gifts, which may not be accepted. Lies and truth. What is truth? The negation of lies? Or the statement of a fact? And if the fact is a lie, what then is the truth? Who is full of feelings which torment him, and who is the empty carapace of a cold skull? Who? What is truth, Geralt? What is the essence of truth?’
‘I don’t know, Yen. Tell me.’
‘No,’ she said and lowered her eyes. For the first time. He had never seen her do that before. Never.

‘Truth,’ the kestrel said, ‘is a shard of ice.”

“Emotions, in my experience aren't covered by single words. I don't believe in "sadness," "joy," or "regret."

Or: "the disappointment of sleeping with one's fantasy." ... I'd like to have a word for "the sadness inspired by failing restaurants" as well as for "the excitement of getting a room with a minibar." I've never had the right words to describe my life.”

“Empath
Hearts that smell the sorrow
Soaks us up, but borrowed
It pricks the eyes like onions' stench
Instigating us to clenched
Captivating eyes with a puzzled glance
They know not the fear that it plants
All I grasp are shards of glass
I hear the sound just like the bats
Broken from the world we live in
History shuns any emotional whirlwind
I know the moment will eventually pass
The overbearing altitude
The high humidity it casts
Still, the spirit pulses its cry
I could not ignore it, no, not I
Its vibration makes such a clearing
Irrational pause, so domineering
Tears are a constant side effect
Pouring down and making a mess
I can’t form the words to comfort thee
Society bans any feelings or needs
With absolutes and shameful banes
With no remedy or comfort gained
In truth, I wish I could cure this curse
To let go and escape the populace hurt
But I can’t let this emotion pass
Because I’m an empath”

“Empathising with the younger children on whom the same confidence trick was being imposed, I embarked on a crusade around the neighbourhood, telling all the kids that there was no Santa Claus.

To my mind, they were being made fools of, and I was only saving them from this indignity.”
