“Fueron los libros los que me hicieron sentir que, quizás, no estaba completamente solo.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

“—Jane, quédese todavía. No se revuelva como un pájaro huraño que pierde sus plumas contra los alambres de la jaula.

—Yo no soy pájaro, ni se me enjaula; soy un ser humano, con una voluntad libre, que ahora ejerzo para separarme de usted.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“It isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do.”
― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility
