“He sweeps her hair back from her ears; he swings her above his head. He says she is his émerveillement. He says he will never leave her, not in a million years.”

“I have been feeling very clearheaded lately and what I want to write about today is the sea. It contains so many colors. Silver at dawn, green at noon, dark blue in the evening. Sometimes it looks almost red. Or it will turn the color of old coins. Right now the shadows of clouds are dragging across it, and patches of sunlight are touching down everywhere. White strings of gulls drag over it like beads.

It is my favorite thing, I think, that I have ever seen. Sometimes I catch myself staring at it and forget my duties. It seems big enough to contain everything anyone could ever feel.”
― Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

“sin abandonar jamás aquella capacidad suya para mil veces caer y otras mil levantarse, sacudiéndose el polvo del vestido y echando a andar de nuevo con paso resuelto, como si nada hubiera pasado. Por muy duros que fueran los tiempos, jamás se fue de su lado el optimismo con el que apuntaló todos los golpes y al que se acogió para ver siempre el mundo desde el lado por el que el sol luce con más claridad.”
― María Dueñas, El tiempo entre costuras
