Eloïse

“I watched in silence as the parts of Matthew I knew and loved—the poet and the scientist, the warrior and the spy, the Renaissance prince and the father—fell away until only the darkest, most forbidding part of him remained. He was only the assassin now. But he was still the man I loved.”
― Deborah Harkness, The Book of Life

“I see you, even when you hide from the rest of the world. I hear you, even when you're silent.”
― Deborah Harkness, The Book of Life

“I believed that books might save him because I knew they had so far, and because I knew the people books had saved.”
― Rebecca Makkai

“Avancer.
M'appuyer sur ce que j'ai vécu.
Sur ce que j'ai fait. Bien et mal.
Sur mes forces et mes faiblesses.
Mes joies et mes regrets.
Mes remords.
Avancer.”
― Pierre Bottero, Les Âmes croisées
