“—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

“Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a new way of living—one without massacres and torn throats and bonfires of the fallen, without revenants or bastard armies or children ripped from their mothers’ arms to take their turn in the killing and dying.

Once, the lovers lay entwined in the moon’s secret temple and dreamed of a world that was a like a jewel-box without a jewel—a paradise waiting for them to find it and fill it with their happiness.

This was not that world.”
― Laini Taylor, Days of Blood & Starlight
