“You don’t deserve me,” he agreed. “You deserve better. But you’re stuck with me, and you might as well get over it.” Scooping me under him in one agile movement, he rolled on top of me, his black eyes all pirate. “I have no intention of letting you go easily, something to keep in mind.

“Furono trovati tra tutte quelle carcasse raccapriccianti due scheletri di cui uno teneva l'altro strettamente abbracciato. Uno di questi due scheletri, che era quello di una donna, aveva ancora qualche brandello di una veste la cui stoffa doveva essere stata bianca e intorno al collo una collana di adrézarach con un sacchettino di seta, ornato di vetri verdi, che era aperto e vuoto. Quegli oggetti avevano così poco valore che senza dubbio il boia non li aveva voluti. L'altro, che teneva questo primo scheletro strettamente abbracciato, era lo scheletro di un uomo. Fu notato che aveva la colonna vertebrale deviata, la testa nelle scapole, e una gamba più corta dell'altra. Non aveva però alcuna rottura di vertebre alla nuca, ed era evidente che non era stato impiccato. L'uomo al quale apparteneva era dunque andato là, e là vi era morto.
Quando si cercò di staccarlo dallo scheletro che abbracciava, si disfece in polvere. "

“Quasimodo allora alzò nuovamente lo sguardo sull’egiziana di cui vedeva il corpo, appeso alla forca, fremere da lontano sotto l’abito bianco negli ultimi spasimi dell’agonia, poi li abbassò sull’arcidiacono disteso ai piedi della torre senza più forma umana, e disse con un singhiozzo dal profondo del petto: «Oh! Tutto ciò ce ho amato!»"

“The garment he'd sent had straps made of flower petals, a bodice made of ribbons lined in gems as small as glitter and a full skirt formed of hundreds of silk butterflies, all in different shades of blue that together formed a magical hue she'd never seen. Some had sheer blue wings that were almost as pale as tears, others were soft sky blue, a few had hints of violet, while some had periwinkle veins. The butterflies weren't alive, but they were so delicate and ethereal, at a glance they looked real.”
― Stephanie Garber, Excerpt: Finale

“Chi scrive, normalmente, ha il brutto vizio di pensare troppo in fretta al finale. Qualcosa che dia un senso alla storia che hai in mente. Spesso gli scrittori, così come i cantanti, o gli sceneggiatori si dannano l’anima per giustificare un’idea. Hanno bisogno di una chiusa, di una risoluzione, di un timbro che assolva la loro colpa. Quella di aver avuto il bisogno di raccontare qualcosa... E allora cercano, ancora prima della fine, che forse già esiste, un finale.”
― Alessandro Cattelan

“-¿Sabes?, la primera vez que te vi, pensé: Nunca había visto algo tan hermoso y cautivador.
-¿Por qué me cuentas todo esto? -dije, abatida.
-Te vi, y enseguida quise estar cerca de ti. Quería conocerte como nadie te había conocido nunca. Te quería a ti, todo lo que tú eres. Y ese deseo casi me volvió loco. -Patch hizo una pausa e inhaló lenta, intensamente, como si quisiera respirar me. -Y ahora que te tengo, lo único que me asusta es que la vida me obligue a volver a revivir aquello: desearte sabiendo que mi deseo no puede cumplirse. Eres mía, ángel. Toda tu. Y no pienso permitir que nada lo cambie.”

“-No te merezco, Patch. Tú dirás lo que quieras, pero esa es la verdad.
-Es cierto, no me mereces. -Coincidió -Te mereces algo mejor. Pero ahora estás atada a mí, tendrás que aceptarlo. -Con un solo movimiento, Patch me acostó y se coloco encima de mi, mirándome desafiante con sus ojos negros -No tengo intención de dejarte marchar, date por avisada. Me da igual que sea otro hombre, tu madre o los poderes del infierno los que traten de separarnos: no pienso dejarte.
Parpadee, atónita, con las pestañas humedecidas por las lagrimas.
-No voy a permitir que nadie se interponga entre nosotros. Y menos la hechicería diabólica. Llevo el antídoto en el bolso. Me lo tomare ahora mismo. Patch? -y añadí sinceramente -Gracias... Por todo. No se lo que haría sin ti.
-Mejor -murmuro -Por que no voy a permitir que te me escapes.”
― Becca Fitzpatrick, Finale

“Everything smelled of dust trapped in light, cracked leather and wayward dreams. Breathing in and out through her nose, Tella looked down at the Map of All. It had transformed once they'd entered the library. It now revealed an entire kingdom made of books that could either have been a book lover's nightmare or their wish come true. There was a Broken Spine Castle, an Unread River, a Ravine of Ripped Pages, a Poetry Valley, a set of Novel Mountains, and then finally, the Ruscica and Books for Advanced Imaginations.

The most direct route to this room was through an area referred to as The Zoo. Tella wondered if it would have books in cages, but The Zoo didn't even have bookshelves. The books all roamed freely in this room as they clung together to take the shapes of different animals. Tella spied bookish rhinos, paper-mache elephants and very tall giraffes that milled about in an oddly peaceful silence. The elephant sniffed at Tella with its leathery-grey trunk of books, while a paper bunny made of loose pages noiselessly hopped after Legend. The bunny continued to follow as they left The Zoo and reached The Reading Chamber, where books formed couches and chairs and one massive throne.”
