“Ganito pala ang ibig nilang sabihin ng bigat ng pagkawalay kumpara sa paghihiwalay. Sa paghihiwalay, wala ka nang inaasahan pang babalik o babalikan kaya madaling magpatuloy; sa pagkawalay, sinusukat mo pa ang mga paglalakbay ninyo ikaw, kung gaano ka na kalayo sa pinaggalingan mo, at siya kung gaano na siya kalapit sa patutunguhan niya. Ang tagpuan ninyong dalawa sa paglalakbay na ito ay ang walang katapusan at nakakaiinip na paghihintay. Marami raw namamaty sa bagot ng paghihintay. Natawa ako sa aking sarili.”
― Rogelio Braga, Colon

“The Duke has decreed that the Castle is not cold." The gentleman's lips are almost blue from this lack of cold. "And the Duke is right and correct in this as in all things."

― Christopher Peter Grey, Leonardo's Shadow: Or, My Astonishing Life as Leonardo da Vinci's Servant
