Sonya Hartnett Quotes

• Había sido testigo de las cosas más bellas del mundo y se había dejado envejecer y perder el amor. Había sentido el calor del rugido de un leviatán y el calor de la pata de un gato. Había conversado con el viento y enjugado las lágrimas de los soldados. Había hecho ver a la gente, se había visto a sí misma en el mar. Las mariposas se habían posado en sus muñecas, había plantado árboles. Había amado y dejado ir el amor. Por eso sonrió.
