“Here’s the thing about falling for someone who’s already given up; there’s no promise of tomorrow. There aren’t any words of comfort that can be said, no glimpse of a positive change. Every moment, every thought could be their last. It’s like you’re helplessly walking into quicksand, waiting for the muck to cover your mouth and eyes until you can no longer find a way to breathe. No, it’s more like jumping from a high bridge without the promise of water underneath. And I fucking hate heights.”

“Si yo no te hubiera derribado esa noche en Aurvanger, ese Riki te hubiera matado." "Lo sé." "Si yo no te hubiera clavado la flecha en el hombro, otro te habría clavado una flecha en el corazón. Si no te hubiera elegido como dýr, podrías estar en cualquiera de esas aldeas que han ardido en la montaña." "Lo sé." -repetí. "Volvería a hacerlo." -dijo- "Todo.”

“De pronto, volví a ser consciente de las profundidades gélidas y opacas que fluían bajo nuestros pies, esperando la grieta más pequeña para empujarnos hacia el fondo. La sensación era aterradora, como si hubiera algo que me amarrara a él. Porque si uno de los dos caía en la oscuridad, el otro iría detrás.”

“Someone told me once that all atoms lived in pairs. When the Big Bang happened, they were blasted across the universe and separated from each other. Ever since then, each pair of atoms has worked to find its way back to its other half… sometimes those atoms find each other again in the form of human beings. We call them soulmates.”

“She was knowingly punishing herself. That was the only reasonable explanation. There was no use in acting naive. What happened earlier in the day was proof that she was going to give in to his flirtation. It appeared she'd thrown caution to the wind and opened her arms to embrace everything that could go wrong in her life. What's one more problem to add to the pile?”

“I felt like I was seeing through him. Through his skin, his muscles, his bones. All the way down into his soul. I wondered if just a lifetime with him would be enough. Not as a friend, or neighbor, or even a lover, but as a person. Would I get to know him beyond this life? Beyond the bodies that we're in right now? Not knowing the answer to that question terrified me. Because I wanted to know him in every lifetime.”

“I have a tendency to overinflate. Overthink. Overstress. Over worry. Then, I find myself floating up into space, trapped within the chaos of my own mind. I might do that, with us.” “And I have a tendency to drown beneath the pressure of mine. So let us be the tether that ties each other back to earth.”

“I couldn’t remember being hugged like this. Like I was worth the effort. Like comforting me wasn’t an obligation the way it was with family. Like my tears weren’t an inconvenience or a childish tantrum. No one had ever embraced the parts of me I hated. The mess, the silence, the moods that came and went without warning. No one had ever looked at the disaster I was without walking away at the first opportunity. Even in the rare moments when I’d allowed someone else to see my tears, I hadn’t asked for the comfort I craved. I wanted to hide, but the truth was, I needed him right now. My body was limp against his, as if it’d already decided that this was it, this was the pillow that would soften my fall.”

“Pure souls need more perfect world: the one, where their kindness wouldn’t be seen as weakness; where their brightness wouldn’t trigger so much envy; where their sincerity and open heart wouldn’t be considered as an invitation to push them down and take advantage of them.”

“Unfortunately, angels do not survive on the Earth... that’s a tragic verity… Pure souls need more perfect world: the one, where their kindness wouldn’t be seen as weakness; where their brightness wouldn’t trigger so much envy; where their sincerity and open heart wouldn’t be considered as an invitation to push them down and take advantage of them. You need to learn how to protect yourself.”

“Shirley stood there having her face nearly the same color as the scarlet receiver of the Smiths’ phone she was holding in her shivering hand and… just sighed! She was not singing the song they just prepared; she even didn’t read any rhymes… she couldn’t say any word. Thrown the receiver back to the phone base, such as it was a poisonous snake but not a simple piece of plastic, she landed onto the sofa where Emily was sitting, also not being able to say anything.”

“What are we, people, living for? You know, what I can observe in our life is that all adults are mostly living for the reason to earn funds for being able to feed themselves and raise their kids; and then those kids grow up and living for the goal to feed themselves and their children… So this feels like an everlasting circle, isn’t it? I mean, shouldn’t each of us, humans, have some kinds of more interesting and important sense of life, except for just living for eating and feeding? Isn’t it sensless and way too primitive to live that way? I believe… I feel I am living for some greater reason, than just eating to grow up to feed the kids to grow up… How could it be right or “normal” that Lord, or the Universe, gave a human the precious gift of life for most of us just to live to eat and to raise kids, for them to only eat and grow their children, and nothing more than that? Could that way really be our gift back to God, in appreciation for what we got? Doesn’t such an existence seem useless and worthless without having some missions and goals of a higher level? Whether living like a “normal” appear to be not the most unworthy way to invest the time of your being?”
