“Just his luck that the sensation of dancing with her had branded itself on his daydreams. She was like a palmful of mercury: achingly lustrous in light or gloom, slipping cool through his fingers. Gone before he could catch his fist closed.”
― Isabel Cañas, The Possession of Alba Díaz

“I once heard it said that the words themselves are cursed. That the tale, once told, will evaporate like mercury. I can’t know that for certain. Perhaps it will. So lean in. Listen closely. I won’t be repeating myself.”
― Isabel Cañas, The Possession of Alba Díaz

“How tragic, to be so ensorcelled by someone whose whole heart was steel and ambition, with no room for soft touch. How pathetic, to be the two of them, soul-broken and quiet in the twilight.”
― Isabel Cañas, The Possession of Alba Díaz

“Some of us are shackled to the world we are born in. We cannot change. We cannot leave.” The bitterness of her own voice tasted like ash. “We can only dream of bigger cages.”
― Isabel Cañas, The Possession of Alba Díaz

“There were gods here, once. Maybe we ate them.”
