• It was how wars really ended, Dieffenbaker supposed -- not at truce tables but in cancer wards and office cafeterias and traffic jams. Wars died one tiny piece at a time, each piece something that fell like a memory, each lost like an echo that fades in winding hills. In the end even war ran up the white flag. Or so he hoped. He hoped that in the end even war surrendered.

• Las furias están en casa en el espejo; es su dirección. Incluso el agua más clara, si es lo suficientemente profunda puede ahogar. Nunca pienses en sorprenderlas. Tu rostro, cada vez más amable, es la bandera blanca que ignoran. No hay tregua con las furias. La temperatura de un espejo es siempre cero. Es hielo en las venas. Su cámara es una radiografía. Es un cáliz que te tiende en comunión silenciosa, donde jadeante participas de una identidad cambiante que nunca te pertenece.

• IN MEMORIAM: FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
  She whom we love, our Lady of Compassion,
  Can never die, for Love forbids her death.
  Love has bent down in his old kindly fashion,
  And breathed upon her his immortal breath.
  On wounded soldiers, in their anguish lying,
  Her gentle spirit shall descend like rain.
  Where the white flag with the red cross is flying,
  There shall she dwell, the vanquisher of pain.

These"--she indicated the rest of the group with a grand wave of her arm--"are my friends." Magnus plucked the invitation out of her hand and looked at it with fastidious distaste. "I must have been drunk," he said. He threw the door open. "Come in. And try not to murder any of my guests." Jace looked at him, "Even if one of them spills something on my new shoes?" "Even then." - 219
