“Cuando creía que estaba librando mi batalla más feroz con la vida, el contrincante al que yo sujetaba jadeando no era más que un fantasma. Un fantasma que sudaba gotas gruesas y me dejó
moretones azules en el ojo y la panza.
Sin embargo, cuando por primera vez pude coger del brazo a la vida, me dio un apretón de manos tan fuerte que me hizo trizas los huesos.”

“This industry is built on silencing us, stomping us into the ground, and hurling money at white people to produce racist stereotypes of us.”

“Horror stories are best appreciated by those who are compassionate and empathetic. A paradox, but a true one. I believe it is the unimaginative among us, those incapable of appreciating the dark side of make-believe, who have been responsible for most of the world’s woes.”
― Stephen King, You Like It Darker

“It might seem that the person who can feel for others is doomed in life. Isn’t one person’s pain enough? Why must a person like Tress feel for two, or more? Yet I’ve found that the people who are the happiest are the ones who learn best how to feel. It takes practice, you know. Effort. And those who (late in life) have been feeling for two, three, or a thousand different people…well, turns out they’ve had a leg up on everyone else all along. Empathy is an emotional loss leader. It pays for itself eventually.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea
