“He cuts his gaze toward his unpredictable, mortal High Queen, whose wild brown hair is blowing around her face, whose amber eyes are alight when she looks at him.
They are two people who ought to have, by all rights, remained enemies forever.
He can't believe his good fortune, can't trace the path that got him here.”
― How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories

“—La vida sigue una serie de patrones… O de ritmos. Cuando nos sentimos atrapados en una única vida es muy fácil imaginar todas las tristezas, las tragedias, los fracasos y los miedos que pueblan esa existencia en particular. Pero todo lo malo es un producto derivado de la vida, en cierto sentido. No es la vida, sin más. Lo que quiero decir es que las cosas nos serían mucho más fáciles si entendiéramos que ningún estilo de vida nos inmuniza contra el drama. Ninguno. La tristeza es intrínseca a la felicidad, es uno de los hilos del tejido de la felicidad, por decirlo así. Por supuesto, todas estas cosas se presentan en distinto grado y cantidad. Pero no existe ninguna vida en la que podamos sentirnos felices para siempre. Imaginar lo contrario solo consigue hacernos más infelices en la vida que nos ha tocado vivir.”
