“Were you in love with him?'
'Yes,' I say, simply. James and I put each other through the kind of reckless passions Gwendolyn once talked about, joy and anger and desire and despair. After all that, was it really so strange? I am no longer baffled or amazed or embarrassed by it. 'Yes, I was.' It's not the whole truth. The whole truth is, I'm in love with him still.”
― M.L. Rio, If We Were Villains

“You can justify anything if you do it poetically enough.”
― M.L. Rio, If We Were Villains

“For someone who loved words as much as I did, it was amazing how often they failed me.”
― M.L. Rio, If We Were Villains

“No soy hombre de muchas palabras, Emma. Si te amara menos, sería capaz de hablar más de ello. Pero sabes como soy. De mí no escucharás más que verdades. Te he hecho reproches y te he reprendido y lo has soportado como ninguna otra mujer en toda Inglaterra lo hubiera hecho. Soporta todas las verdades que ahora te voy a decir, mi queridísima Emma, tan bien como soportaste aquellas”
― Jane Austen
