Beatriz’s Notes & Highlights

Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

1 highlight

I leave it to be settled, by whomsoever it may concern, whether the tendency of this work be altogether to recommend parental tyranny, or reward filial disobedience.

Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas

by Machado de Assis

“I've got two knives that are cast in bronze/ they pierce all the way to the soul/ they draw you in with the promise of sin/ like the moth to the flame to the coal

I've got hair like the starless night / it sticks to my lips when I smile / I'll wind it with yours and we'll drift of course/ in a ship touching hearts all the while

For they way I walk is a lantern lit/ that leads you into the night/ I'll hold you close and love you the most/ until our end is in sight”
― F.C. Yee, The Rise of Kyoshi
