170 " -Se viene todo contra ti: el viento y los truenos y los rayos y la lluvia, te arrollan. Crees que el mundo se va a acabar. Es un momento apocalíptico y abrumador.

171 " Así que esta es mi nueva adicción: recordar. Y lo digo en serio. Es tan extraño y tan raro y tan peculiar querer recordar. Se siente mal y se siente bien al mismo tiempo.

Verán, así es como pienso ahora: mi cuerpo entero, con mi cerebro y mi corazón incluidos, era un vertedero que se lleno de basura. Y bueno, ahora estoy encargándome de la limpieza. "

179 " I knew I’d gone crazy but I couldn’t explain it to myself. Maybe that’s what happens when you go crazy. You just can’t explain it. Not to yourself. Not to anyone. And the worst part about going crazy is that when you’re not crazy anymore, you just don’t know what to think of yourself. "
180 " My mother had told me he was beautiful. I wonder if he'd been as beautiful as Dante. And I wondered why I thought that. "
