“Finally, I said that I couldn’t see how anyone could be educated by this self-propagating system in which people pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything.”

“Gods didn’t mind atheists, if they were deep, hot, fiery, atheists like Simony, who spend their whole life hating gods for not existing. That sort of atheism was a rock. It was nearly belief …”

“Every paragraph, every sentence, seemed written in a musical key. The narrative drew her eyes through a cadence of timbres and colors that sketched a theater of shadows in her mind. She read without pause for two hours, relishing every sentence and dreading the moment she would reach the end.”

“YOU TRIED TO WARN HIM, he said, removing Binky’s nose-bag.
“Yes, sir. Sorry.”
YOU CANNOT INTERFERE WITH FATE. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE WHO SHOULD LIVE AND WHO SHOULD DIE?
Death watched Mort’s expression carefully.
ONLY THE GODS ARE ALLOWED TO DO THAT, he added. TO TINKER WITH THE FATE OF EVEN ONE INDIVIDUAL COULD DESTROY THE WHOLE WORLD. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
Mort nodded miserably.
“Are you going to send me home?” he said.
Death reached down and swung him up behind the saddle.
BECAUSE YOU SHOWED COMPASSION? NO. I MIGHT HAVE DONE IF YOU HAD SHOWN PLEASURE. BUT YOU MUST LEARN THE COMPASSION PROPER TO YOUR TRADE.
“What’s that?”
A SHARP EDGE.”

“Una historia es un laberinto infinito de palabras, imágenes y espíritus conjurados para desvelarnos la verdad invisible sobre nosotros mismos. Una historia es, en definitiva, una conversación entre quien la narra y quien la escucha, y un narrador solo puede contar hasta donde le llega el oficio y un lector solo puede leer hasta donde lleva escrito en el alma.
Esa es la regla maestra que sostiene todo artificio de papel y tinta, porque cuando se apagan las luces, se silencia la música y se vacía el patio de butacas, lo único que importa es el espejismo que ha quedado grabado en el teatro de la imaginación que alberga todo lector en su mente. Eso y la esperanza que todo hacedor de cuentos lleva dentro: que el lector haya abierto su corazón a alguna de sus criaturas de papel y le haya entregado algo de sí mismo para hacerla inmortal, aunque solo sea por unos minutos.”
