“I open my mouth to deny it and break down into tears instad. I am completely, utterly, horrified. I never act this way. I'm only meant to absorb what others feel, present the best side of myself, sit still and swallow my own emotions. But it's like I've lost control over my own body. Like I watch myself from the ceiling as I'm standing in the middle of the living room crying and clutching the gummy candy. I'm unconsolable. Histerical. I'm sobbing ten years worth of tears chocking as if there's something sickening and poisonous inside me, something painful and I need to force it out of my system. But it's stuck. It has festered beneath my flesh for so long now that is a part of me, the deep ache like a thumb over a tender bruise.”

“Lascerete sempre che il vostro consigliere prenda le decisioni per voi?"
"No" rispose Kai, concedendole un sorriso freddo. "Alla fine avrò un'imperatrice per quello".”

“Ti senti mai come un buco nero? Un buco nero al contrario?"
"Intendi che respinge invece di attirare?"
"Qualcosa che butta fuori. Un buco nero di parole, al contrario."
"Cioè il mondo sta risucchiando le tue parole?"
"Non del tutto, non ancora. Le parole volano lontano da me così in fretta che non so neppure da dove vengono."
"Se sono volate via tutte forse hai finito le riserve e ora sono parole di sangue e ossa"
"Ora sono fatte del mio respiro."
"No. Non mi sono mai sentito così.”

“There's a false assumption people tend to make about me. They believe that all I care about is being the best. That the closer I am to the top the happier I am. That, if it comes down to it, a 30% is better than a 0. That being mediocre is at least better than being bad. But I swing between extremes. If can't be the best, I'd rather be the best at being the worst. If I'm going to fail, I would rather fail than doing the job half way. And, if I'm going to self-destruct, then why stop at kissing the enemy?”
