1 " Amara looks at Dido, at the joy on her face, and realises there is nobody she loves more. Warmth spreads through her. She has never had a friend like Dido. She is the light in the darkness of her life. "

2 " Either we choose to stay alive, or we give up. And if it's living we choose, then we do whatever it takes. "
3 " Tomorrow I’ll start living”, you say, Postumus: always tomorrow. Tell me, that “tomorrow”, Postumus, when’s it coming? How far off is that “tomorrow”? "
4 " She runs through the repertoire, the line between fear and anger stretched taut across her heart. "
5 " Her anger is rising like the sea, drowning her. "
6 " Suns when they sink can rise again, "
7 " For a moment, she thinks of Felix. Imagines what it must be like to have the power to act on your anger rather than bury it. "
8 " But she is always aware of the imbalance in power, and fear is her affections shadow. "
9 " She is the light in the darkness of her life. "
10 " Fit to fuck an emperor,” the hairdresser says when she’s finished. “If you’ll pardon the expression. "

12 " Amara thinks the stones look like all the kindnesses Cressa heaped up in her life, insignificant, yet touching the people closest to her. "
13 " And it's not brave. It's stupid. Have you seen the bruises on her? Who fights a battle they're never going to win?""That's what courage means. "
14 " Now I quite enjoy hearing you call me beloved in your own language." Amara kisses him, and he smooths his thumb against her cheek. "Sometimes, I think about when our child is older, when we won't be able to be like this anymore, because we will have to pretend, even in the house, that I'm nothing to you. And when that happens, you can still tell me you love me every time you say my name. "
