• Now that mine is almost over, I can say that the one thing that struck me most about life is the capacity for change. One day you're a person and the next day they tell you you're a dog.

• He visto algo parecido en una batalla. Un hombre venía hacia mí, yo hacia él, para matarlo. Entonces llegó una repentina ráfaga de viento que envolvió nuestros mantos sobre nuestras espadas y casi sobre nuestros ojos, de modo que no podíamos hacernos nada sino luchar contra el propio viento. Y aquella ridícula contienda, tan ajena al asunto que nos ocupaba, nos hizo reír a los dos, cara a cara, amigos por un momento, y luego enemigos de nuevo y para siempre.
