A scoundrel. A pirate.”

“I believed in the spirits of my ancestors.”
― Joseph Duncan, quote from The Oldest Living Vampire Tells All

“...the value of education is among the greatest of all human values...”
― Virginia Woolf, quote from Three Guineas

“Una pistola negra. Un colorido diente de león en la cubierta.
Y una explosión que astillaba las tablas del barco.
Y oscuridad.
Por unos momentos luchó como si pudiera apagar la visión con sus manos, agitando con las piernas, pero de repente le embargo una repentina e intensa paz. Se extendió por su interior al igual que la sangre avanza a través de la tela, saturando cada una de sus fibras.
Iba a morir, de acuerdo, pero ése no sería el día.
Y fue entonces cuando decidió que llevaría su barco al último confín occidental del mundo.
Porque aún había miles de aventuras por vivir, y apenas un numero finito de días para hacerlo.
Porque el mundo lo esperaba allí fuera.
¿Y porqué no?
Con ese último pensamiento, sonrió y cerró los ojos, dejó que el agua se lo llevara.”
― Traci Chee, quote from The Reader

“You can die of a broken heart -- it's scientific fact -- and my heart has been breaking since that very first day we met. I can feel it now, aching deep behind my rib cage the way it does every time we're together, beating a desperate rhythm: Love me. Love me. Love me.”
― Abby McDonald, quote from Getting Over Garrett Delaney

“If to raise malicious smiles at the infirmities or misfortunes of those who have never injured us be the province of wit or humour, Heaven grant me a double portion of dullness.”
― Richard Brinsley Sheridan, quote from The School for Scandal
