• She could smell the boy spice beneath the thrift-store aroma of his jacket, and the rubbing and the smell began to work to soften her -- like butter before you add sugar, in the first steps of making something sweet. It was her first experience of how bodies could meld together, how breath could slip naturally into rhythm. It was hypnotic. Heady. And she wanted more.

• A veces me quedo despierto por la noche pensando en todas las tonterías que hago cada día... Si vivo hasta los ochenta y hago diez tonterías cada día... Serían unas doscientas noventa mil tonterías... Cuando sumas todas las tonterías que haces, es mejor usar números redondos.

• The fact is that nothing is more difficult to believe than the truth; conversely, nothing seduces like the power of lies, the greater the better. It's only natural, and you will have to find the right balance. Having said that, let me add that this particular old woman hasn't been collecting only years; she has also collected stories, and none sadder or more terrible than the one she's about to tell you. You have been at the heart of this story without knowing it until today.

• So proper for a circus girl," Mme. Padva says with with a gleam in her eye. "We shall have to loosen those corset laces if we intend to keep you an intimate dinner company." "I expected the corset unlacing would take place after dinner," Celia says mildly, earning a chorus of laughter. "We shall keep Miss Bowen as intimate company regardless of the state of her corset," Chandresh says. "Make a note of that," he adds, waving a hand at Marco.

• Because no, I didn’t push her away. I didn’t add to her pain or do anything to hurt her. Instead, I left her alone in that room. The only person who might’ve been able to reach out and save her from herself. To pull her back from wherever she was heading. I did what she asked and I left. When I should have stayed.

• El todo de la vida -incluso lo difícil- se compone de partes diminutas, y si me pierdo los infinitesimales, me pierdo el todo. Estas son nuevas lecciones de lenguaje, y las vivo. Hay una manera de vivir la grandeza de dar gracias en todas las cosas. Es ésta: dar gracias en esta pequeña cosa. Los momentos se irán sumando.

• Everything you’ve told yourself you ought to do, your mind thinks you should do right now. Frankly, as soon add you have two things to do stored in your RAM, you’ve generated personal failure, because you can’t do two things at the same time. This produces an all-pervasive stress factor whose source can’t be pin-pointed.

• I shall possess this woman; I shall steal her from the husband who profanes her: I will even dare ravish her from the God whom she adores. What delight, to be in turns the object and the victor of her remorse! Far be it from me to destroy the prejudices which sway her mind! They will add to my happiness and my triumph. Let her believe in virtue, and sacrifice it to me; let the idea of falling terrify her, without preventing her fall; and may she, shaken by a thousand terrors, forget them, vanquish them only in my arms.

• Me quité la chaqueta, me cambié la camiseta por una de tirantes gris oscura, me puse el enredo de la funda trasera y volví a ponerme la chaqueta. Los matones somos nosotros. Genial.

• ¿Te parece que he estado llorando? Digo. Hmm. Se inclina hacia mí y entrecierra los ojos como si inspeccionara mi cara. Una sonrisa se dibuja en la comisura de sus labios.

• La miel no sabe tan bien una vez que se come; el objetivo no significa tanto una vez que se alcanza; la recompensa no es tan gratificante una vez que se ha dado. Si sumamos todas las recompensas de nuestra vida, no tendremos muchas. Pero si sumamos los espacios *entre* las recompensas, tendremos bastante. Y si sumamos las recompensas *y* los espacios, lo tendremos todo: cada minuto del tiempo que pasamos.
