21 " I know what it is to look at your past, and see nothing more than your mistakes "
― A.C. Gaughen , Scarlet (Scarlet, #1)
22 " I left little packages in front of the doors; the people looked for them in the morning, and I knew, in some bit of a way, it bucked them up.I did as much as I could, but it weren't like I could get everyone something every night. That seemed like the cruelest part. I tried not to think 'bout the people that woke up and rushed to the door and didn't find nothing; it made my chest hurt. "
23 " He put his hand to my cheek, just touching the fingertips to my skin before pulling away. "You are. "

31 " Hacemos lo que hacemos porque hay algo que podemos hacer al respecto. Las cosas como «¿cuanto tiempo?» y «¿que pasará?» no forman parte de eso. Se trata de esperanza, no del horror. "
32 " Rob tended to see the bit of bright in all of us. "
33 " I'm saying that some girls slap, but I've got knives. "
34 " One day, we’ll all be free.” I sighed, looking at the glowing tongues of the fire. “Or we’ll be dead. But then, I suppose that’s a kind of freedom too. "
35 " responsible for the town, didn’t have the sorts of coffers "
