• Silence. How long it lasted, I couldn't tell. It might have been five seconds, it might have been a minute. Time wasn't fixed. It wavered, stretched, shrank. Or was it me that wavered, stretched, and shrank in the silence? I was warped in the folds of time, like a reflection in a fun house mirror.

• The truth is I always loved him. From the first time I saw him he was so great. But that time I was hurt. I might have been selfish but I was so hurt. I was afraid I would feel more pain.

• In the weeks since I had made the decision to leave my father's house, I had grown up. And I had learned that not every battle can be fought by firing an arrow from a bow. But I would have to face whatever new challenges came my way as bravely as I had faced the Huns. I could not wallow in self-pity, thinking about what might have been. I had to do my duty. It was the only way to stay true to myself.

• Todas las cabezas se giraron para ver aparecer a otros dos guardias de seguridad, cada uno sujetando a un Bagshaw por la nuca (lo que podría haber sido considerablemente menos llamativo si los Bagshaws no hubieran ido vestidos de deshollinadores). Kat se volvió hacia Hale. ¿La Mary Poppins? Me pareció una buena idea en aquel momento.

• Pero el efecto de su existencia sobre los que la rodeaban fue incalculablemente difuso: porque el bien creciente del mundo depende en parte de actos no históricos; y el que las cosas no estén tan mal contigo y conmigo como podrían haber estado, se debe en parte al número de los que vivieron fielmente una vida oculta, y descansan en tumbas no visitadas.

• Anhelamos el mañana y el progreso que representa. Pero ayer fue una vez mañana, y ¿dónde estaba el progreso en ello? O añoramos el ayer, lo que fue o lo que podría haber sido. Pero a medida que anhelamos, el presente se va convirtiendo en pasado, de modo que el pasado no es más que nuestro anhelo de segundas oportunidades.

• ¡Y qué ejemplo del poder de la indumentaria era el joven Oliver Twist! Envuelto en la manta que hasta entonces había constituido su única cubierta, podría haber sido el hijo de un noble o de un mendigo; habría sido difícil para el más altivo de los forasteros fijar su posición en la sociedad. Pero ahora estaba envuelto en las viejas túnicas de percal, que se habían vuelto amarillas en el mismo servicio; tenía una insignia y un boleto, y cayó en su lugar de inmediato: un niño de la parroquia, el huérfano de un asilo, el humilde vagabundo medio muerto de hambre, para ser esposado y golpeado por el mundo, despreciado por todos y compadecido por nadie.

  Charles Dickens
