41 " They give me the evil eye every Sunday. In Church. It's like they expect the altar to melt or a million locusts to fly out of my butt. "

42 " Love and faith go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other. And as we all know, taking the leap ain't always safe. Sometimes you judge poorly, and you land right on your face. But unless you make the jump, you'll never know what's on the other side. You just gotta find the guts to do it. "

43 " What are you getting at? I demanded. Are you saying you know somthing about me? For a moment she was quiet. Her pale eyeswandered across my face as if she was searching for somthing she had seen before. "Let's see. I know your short on friends. I also know your a little strange. I figure you must be pretty bored, or you wouldn't have spent your time following me around. But I know a few other things that might make me think you're interesting."I couldn't tell wether I should be frightened or flatered. No one had ever said that about me before. "Is that good or bad?" I asked."That, Mrs. Fishbein, is entirely up to you "

44 " -Creo que debería acompañarlos-replicó Beau-. No estoy seguro de que sea una buena idea aún dejar a Haven sola contigo.-Es un poco sobreprotector-le explicó Haven a Iain. -Él siempre ha sido así-comentó Iain-. Yo no esperaría que cambie pronto.-¿Cómo sabes que siempre he sido así?-preguntó Beau, molesto-. Tenemos media hora de conocernos.-Tenemos al menos quinientos años de conocernos-lo corrigió Iain-. Tú eras hermano de ella cuando te conocí. En ese entonces también te llevó algo de tiempo aceptarme. "
45 " Why do you think women are designed to outlive men? Why do we keep going for thirty years after our bodies can no longer reproduce? Do you think nature meant for those years to be useless? No, of course not. Our lives are designed to have three parts. The first is education. The second, creation. And in part three, we put our experience to use and protect those who are weaker. "

46 " Can I ask you a question? I swear it's not about heaven."Joi laughs. "Shoot.""Why do you love me?" I ask her."Because you love me back," she says without hesitation. "You have no idea how much," I tell her."Yes, I do," she says. "

47 " They may think they understand how God works, but if were were able to understand how God works, we wouldn't need faith, now would we? "
48 " the first rule of being a team is trusting one another. And if you trust someone, you let her keep her secrets. When she is ready to tell you, she will. You dont have to know everything, Anaka.Why not? Why should I trust Oona if she doesnt trust me? How do I know she's not hiding somthing more dangerous?Oona was worried the rest of you would see her differently, Kiki bristled. Don't prove her right. "

49 " —¿Cómo funciona eso, entonces? —preguntó Haven—. ¿Cómo se vuelve a encontrar la gente?—Lo único que sé es que atraemos a las personas que hemos amado antes.—¿Y tú y yo nos hemos encontrado en cada vida?—Ojalá fuera así de fácil. Te busco en cada vida, pero no siempre te encuentro. Y a veces te encuentro demasiado tarde. "
50 " To those of you who are sticklers for safety and approach life with all the caution of amateur beekeepers, I can offer no excuse for what I did then. I’ll admit that a more mature human being would never have let her curiosity take control. Thankfully, I was twelve years old and fully prepared to meet the challenge at hand. "
51 " Ella estaba sentada en la cumbre de una colina, contemplando Roma. El sol de la tarde volvía oro las estructuras de la ciudad.-Jamás pensé que llegaríamos a este lugar-dijo ella.-Y yo tuve fe en que lo haríamos.Él tomó la mano de ella y le plantó un beso.-¿Todo ha terminado?-Por ahora-respondió él. "
52 " That doesn't offend me. 'Witch' is the label society slaps on women it can't understand or control. "
53 " What difference can a bunch of photographers make?" Rosier sneered. "Most of them look as though they're a hamburger away from a heart attack. "
54 " She’d tried so hard to prove she was good enough. And now, with a few simple sentences, Harriett had explained it so plainly. Jo had been good enough all along. They’d made her feel like a failure, when the truth was, they just hadn’t wanted her around. There was nothing she could have done. "
55 " It wouldn’t have been such a leap, truth be told. She’d been seeing things through men’s eyes for years. Her entire career, men had informed her what was good and what wasn’t. And she’d always assumed they were right. "
56 " Don't know about you, but I like taking up more space. "
57 " Yes, you’re afraid of me because I’m better than you are. And if you give one talented woman the power she deserves, another will follow. Then another. And together they’ll show that their way is better. Then your whole fake fucking world will come tumbling down. "
58 " Confidence is the force that runs the world. Mixed with a dose of charm, it has the power to produce everything from prom queens to presidents. "
59 " (...) -Beau, ¿vigilas la entrada, por favor?-¿Qué debo hacer si veo algo sospechoso?-Patear un coche-respondió Iain.-¿Patear un coche?-Para activar la alarma.-¡Oralé!-dijo Beau-. Buena idea. "
