“Porque así es como lo llamarían los humanos. Fueron ellos quienes inventaron a Satán ¿no es así? Satánico no es más que el calificativo que dieron al comportamiento de aquellos que perturbaban el orden en el que querían vivir los hombres”

“I will love you like the desert burns along the sun when they are together,
and when you will be gone,
just like every one else,
I will cry for you like the snow that melts at the first hint of summer...
and hoping that you'll be back
I will miss you like the clouds lose themselves when it rains...”

“Black is the color that is no color at all.
Black is the color of a child's still, empty bedroom. The heaviest hour of night-the one that traps you in your bunk, suffocating in another nightmare. It is a uniform stretched over the broad shoulders of an angry young man. Black is the mud, the lidless eye watching your every breath, the low vibrations of the fence that stretches up to tear at the sky.
It is a road. A forgotten night sky broken up by faded stars.
It is the barrel of a new gun, leveled at your heart.
The color of Chubs's hair, Liam's bruises, Zu's eyes.
Black is a promise of tomorrow, bled dry from lies and hate.
Betrayal.
I see it in the face of a broken compass, feel it in the numbing grip of grief.
I run, but it is my shadow. Chasing, devouring, polluting. It is the button that should never have been pushed, the door that shouldn't have opened, the dried blood that couldn't be washed away. It is the charred remains of buildings. The car hidden in the forest, waiting. It is the smoke.
It is the fire.
The spark.
Black is the color of memory.
It is our color.
The only one they'll use to tell our story.”

“La amistad es completamente diferente. Nadie nos impone a los amigos; los elegimos nosotros. No nos une una ceremonia, ni la responsabilidad de engendrar un hijo; nos unen las experiencias y los momentos vividos. Nos une una chispa que saltó cuando nos conocimos; las risas y las lágrimas que hemos compartido; los secretos que guardamos y protegemos como un tesoro. La fascinación ante la certeza de saber que el otro, aún siendo tan diferente a ti, entiende las razones de tu corazón como nadie lo hará jamás.”
