" A bilo je to itekako dražesno, smatrala je Mary. Nekako je humanije, promatrati različite rukopise, različite tinte, različite načine na koje bi netko nekad nešto krivo napisao. Bio je to vizualni ekvivalent razgovora, svatko bi u zapisu ostavio nešto sebi svojstveno, unikatno - za razliku od unosa uvijek istih, provjerenih natipkanih riječi.
Međutim, to je donekle otežavalo traženje neke određene bilješke ili napomene. S druge strane, iščitavanje svega od početka moglo bi vam pomoći da primijetite nešto što vam je možda ranije promaknulo. "

" There were a hundred thousand ways to detail his mate’s physical attributes, and not one single sentence, or indeed an entire book, that could come close to describing her presence. She was the watch on his wrist, the roast beef when he was starving, and the pitcher of lemonade when he was thirsty. She was his chapel and his choir, the mountain range to his wanderlust, the library for his curiosity, and every sunrise or sunset that ever was or would ever be. With one look or the mere syllable of a word, she had the power to transform his mood, giving him flight even as his feet stayed on the ground. With a single touch, she could chain his inner dragon, or make him come even before he got hard. She was all the power in the universe coalesced into a living, breathing thing, the miracle that he had been granted in spite of the fact that he had long been undeserving of anything but his curse.
