“Now he had to go back to being himself, and that was hard—it got harder to do that every year. It was easier to be brave when you were someone else.”

“His fear was already gone; it had slipped away from him as easily as a nightmare slips away from a man who awakes, cold-skinned and gasping, from its grip; who feels his body and stares at his surroundings to make sure that none of it ever happened and who then begins at once to forget it. Half is gone by the time his feet hit the floor; three-quarters of it by the time he emerges from the shower and begins to towel off; all of it by the time he finishes his breakfast. All gone ... until the next time, when, in the grip of the nightmare, all fears will be remembered.”

“My whole pleasant life has been nothing but the eye of some storm I don’t understand.’ I’m afraid. But then it just ... fades. The way dreams do.”

“En aquel momento habría podido elegir la segunda posibilidad que se le ofrecía, callar y recorrer el camino del nacimiento a la muerte sin el desvío de la vida, ahorrando con ello muchas calamidades a sí mismo y al mundo, pero tan prudente decisión habría requerido un mínimo de generosidad innata y Grenouille no la poseía. Fue un monstruo desde el mismo principio. Eligió la vida por pura obstinación y por pura maldad.”
