Das zweite Buch der Träume (Silber, #2) QUOTES

1 " «Ti amo» disse Henry
all'improvviso, stringendomi a sé.
Dimenticai all'istante Charles. Henry non pronunciava spesso quelle due
magiche parole. Nelle otto settimane
e mezzo passate le aveva dette per la
precisione tre volte e, tutte le volte
che lo faceva, per qualche motivo mi
sentivo a disagio. L'unica risposta
adeguata e valida per tale
affermazione era sicuramente «ti
amo anch'io», ma per qualche
motivo non mi era mai riuscito di
pronunciarla. Non perché non lo
amassi, al contrario, semplicemente
perché «Ti amo anch'io» non aveva
nemmeno lontanamente lo stesso
peso di un «Ti amo» detto di slancio.
«Anche se non riesco a
trasformarmi in un razzo spaziale oa diventare invisibile?» risposi.
Henry annuì. «Imparerai a farlo.
Hai un talento straordinario. Sotto
ogni aspetto.» Poi si sporse verso di
me e cominciò a baciarmi. E così il
sogno diventò proprio bello. "

2 " Oh, don’t look so morally offended. Don’t forget that if you get up on your high horse it’s a long way to fall.” He looked at his watch. “Do you know how late it is? Time for your next class.”

I lifted my chin. “You’re right there,” I said, trying to sound as icily scornful as possible. “My high horse and I must just go and find a toilet to throw up in first, because this conversation makes us sick to our stomachs. "

3 "  “No acute attacks of guilt and self-hatred?”

“Nope. I’ve taken Mr. Wu’s advice: never mind how hard the times are, he always says, carry a green branch in your heart and a songbird will settle on it.”

“Wow—where on earth does Mr. Wu get all these hoary old sayings from?”  "

4 " Bocker", flüsterte Mia mir zu.
"Wie bitte?" flüsterte ich zurück.
"Biest in Ocker ist einfach zu lang.Nennen wir sie Bocker. "

5 " Although he hasn’t introduced himself to me yet.”

“Then let me do it—this is Senator Tod,” I said, and Henry added, “Tod Nord, as in North.”

“North as in south?” asked Arthur.

Senator Tod nodded.

“And is that your only name?” asked Henry, although the obvious question, of course, would have been How do you know our names? Or What do you want from us?

Senator Tod laughed again. “Oh, no! I have many names, my boy. I told you some of them at our first meeting.”

“You’re not a demon, by any chance?” I inquired as casually as possible. “From ancient times, Lord of Shadows and Darkness and all that?”

Both Henry and Arthur shot me glances of annoyance.

“Well, I was only wondering…,” I murmured. “He talks in that high-flown way, he says he has many names—I just wanted to be on the safe side. "

6 " We really did try hard to overcome her resentment and get her to like us—but it was no use. (Okay, maybe we didn’t try all that hard.) And by now we’d given up the attempt. What was it Lottie was always saying? Call out into the forest, and the same sound comes echoing back. Or anyway, she had a proverb along those lines. We were part of a pissed-off forest, anyway, or at least Mia and I were.  "
