Coi capelli neri scompigliati dal vento, ricordò a Luke il quadro di Nevinson intitolato "La strega". Quel viso pallido, delicato, quei capelli così lunghi che parevano arrivare fino alle stelle... se la immaginò a cavallo di un manico di scopa che voleva verso la luna.”

Popular quotes

“No me sorprendió. Por norma, todas las religiones del mundo discriminaban a las mujeres, bien situándolas en un incomprensible segundo plano o bien legitimando que pudieran ser maltratadas y vejadas. Era algo realmente lamentable a lo que nadie parecía querer encontrar una solución.”
― Matilde Asensi, quote from The Last Cato

“I have no friends. Who are you? What are you doing here?” “Massster used to call me Legion before he called me Ssstupid Idiot.” It moved one step closer, humming with giddiness. Grinning, fangs making another appearance. “Want to play?” Legion. Interesting. “One of a thousand what?” “Minionsss.” Another step. Servants of hell, Wrath supplied with disgust. Useless, disposable, unworthy. Eat him. Aeron”
― Gena Showalter, quote from The Darkest Pleasure

“You who come after me, scribbling these Annals, by now realize that I shy off portraying the whole truth about our band of blackguards. You know they are vicious, violent, and ignorant. They are complete barbarians, living out their cruelest fantasies, their behavior tempered only by the presence of a few decent men. I do not often show that side because these men are my brethren, my family, and I was taught young not to speak ill of kin. The old lessons die hardest.”
― Glen Cook, quote from The Black Company

“Back when Alistair had made his promise to Hope and Arthur. A promise that had been nearly impossible to keep.”

It is about remembering who you really are so that you can get on with the creation of your life experience in the way you intended before you came forth into this physical body, and into this magnificent Leading-Edge experience . . . where you fully intended to express your freedom in endless, joyous, co-creative ways.”
― Esther Hicks, quote from Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires
