“There was nothing in this world that was not a con, suddenly I understood this. Nothing really mattered, and nothing could be lost. ”

“En un agujero en el suelo, vivía un hobbit. No un agujero húmedo, sucio,repugnante, con restos de gusanos y olor a fango, ni tampoco un agujero seco,desnudo y arenoso, sin nada en que sentarse o que comer: era un agujero-hobbit, y eso significa comodidad.”

They immediately suggest a complex character to me, a woman who is, say, a secretary, but also a vigilante on behalf of her own soul.”
