“Liraz may have captured Ziri's soul like a butterfly in a bottle, but that was only a formality. It was already hers.

“I can see you have a great deal of water in your personality. Water never waits. It changes shape and flows around things, and finds the secret paths no one else has thought about -- the tiny hole through the roof or the bottom of the box. There's no doubt it's the most versatile of the five elements. It can wash away earth; it can put out fire; it can wear a piece of metal down and sweep it away. Even wood, which is its natural complement, can't survive without being nurtured by water. And yet, you haven't drawn on those strengths in living your life, have you?”
― Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha

“—Antes me formaba yo idea del día y de la noche. ¿Cómo? Verás: era de día, cuando hablaba la gente; era de noche, cuando la gente callaba y cantaban los gallos. Ahora no hago las mismas comparaciones. Es de día, cuando estamos juntos tú y yo; es de noche, cuando nos separamos.
—¡Ay, divina Madre de Dios!— exclamó la Nela, echándose atrás las guedejas que le caían sobre la frente. —A mí, que tengo ojos, me parece lo mismo.”
― Benito Pérez Galdós, Marianela

“Elena: "I guess a dying woman can be stupid if she wants. I'm crazy about you, Archangel. You scare the shit out of me at times, but I want to dance with you anyway.”
