"Why me?"
"Because you're the reason. Swear it."
"I swear it," I said, lost in the high color of his cheeks, the flame in his eyes.

“Captain! To your left there’s a Lunar guard and on your right is a doctor who’s running tests on Lunars and I’m being held by one of Levana’s wolf hybrids and please be careful!”

“Fui una adolescente extraña y solitaria que estudiaba mucho y cuya vida estaba limitada por las cuatro paredes de una tranquila casa de estilo japonés. Apenas salía y no tenía amigos. Solo me sentía realmente contenta cuando devoraba los libros que tanto me gustaban y amaba. Tenía un sentimiento de inferioridad muy marcado y casi nunca quería ir a las reuniones de familiares y amigos.

“Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita. Did she have a precursor? She did, indeed she did. In point of fact, there might have been no Lolita at all had I not loved, one summer, an initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

“Appropriate is boring”

My mind was sure, and my heart—all of me was certain.”
― Simone St. James, The Other Side of Midnight
