“.....Хората са лоши.....
— Не, не са лоши... Слабоумни са, което не е едно и също. Злото предполага някакво нравствено съждение, намерение и известен размисъл. Слабоумният или идиотът дори за миг не спира, за да помисли или да разсъди. Той действа инстинктивно като добиче, убеден, че върши добро, че винаги има право, и гордо преебава — с извинение — всеки, който му изглежда по-различен от него — било то поради цвета на кожата, поради вярата, езика, националността или, както в случая с дон Федерико, поради предпочитаните развлечения. На тоя свят са нужни повече действително лоши хора и по-малко междинни тъпанари.”
― Карлос Руис Сафон, The Shadow of the Wind

And then he was all standing there and he didn’t see me at first because I’m getting so good at hunting. I was all like rawr and grr but then I smelled it again and it was him and it was all kaboom!

Always you.
You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
You’re my first memory. Mom was holding you, and I wanted to take you for myself, hide you away so no one would hurt you.

You’re my heart.
You are my soul.”
