“At the place where they sleep, the melody sneaks inside, touching flesh, skin, mind and thought, some feelings turning to love and beauty, others tohatred and fear. Dreams turn on a quarter note, a semiquaver, a vibrato unheard by any still living, by any mortal being.”

“Dear Abby,My boyfriend won't suck my blood. I've offered, I've cajoled. I've even begged, even though begging is totally humiliating and degrading because I'm so afraid that if he doesn't, he's going to die. Oh, and did I mention he's a vampire? No, really, the undead kind.Signed,Confused in Texas.Dear Confused:What the Fuck!?”

“Infelizmente há sempre gente disposta a fazer o mal, mas nós temos que ser superiores a isso. (…) Sabe que há muita gente maldosa e invejosa. Pessoas dispostas a ferir quem está feliz, por ainda não terem encontrado o seu próprio caminho para a felicidade.”

“(…) sabia que de nada valia e que fosse qual fosse o lugar do mundo, as pessoas nunca seriam todas olhadas da mesma forma.”

“How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.So you must not be frightened if a sadness rises up before you larger than any you have ever seen; if a restiveness, like light and cloudshadows, passes over your hands and over all you do. You must think that something is happening with you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand; it will not let you fall. Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any miseries, or any depressions? For after all, you do not know what work these conditions are doing inside you.”

“When I carved this, my thoughts were on you, love. Your life is like this snake's coils. No matter how many turns it makes, you'll end up back where you belong. With me.”

“Your solitude will expand and become a place where you can live in the twilight, where the noise of other people passes, far in the distance.”
