101 " Memory knows that we cannot endure its company. "

102 " After so long in the ice, he wanted to touch everything. "
103 " Was he for the world or for me? "
104 " He wrapped his warm arms around the mystery. He buried his face in the monster’s neck. "
105 " You do not want secrets which can be ripped from your heart. "
106 " Amadeo was the one I wanted. Amadeo was the one I was educating, training. Amadeo was the precious student of the Blood. "
107 " I like gloves,” said Marius. “I’m never without them. Our hands frighten mortals when they take the time to look. And gloves feel warm which we never do. "
108 " I wanted this child-this boy who was now two years older than when I’d found him-and yet I wanted everything else for him, and my soul was torn, just as my heart was torn. "
109 " Don’t fight with Mael. What could be the outcome, but two wounded creatures hating each other even more than now? "

117 " Here they could see the trusting dancers, who seemed one and all to be dancing alone rather than with anyone else, each moving to the music in a primitive way as though drunk on it. "
118 " I myself had not known the lines of human expression still remained to me, and I was most happy to discover them, and I rather liked the image that I presented in the glass. "
119 " What a strange mood would descend upon me while walking in the arcade along San Marco if someone should be looking at me admiringly. I would turn about, taking my time, and double back perhaps, and only reluctantly move away, rather like a bird of some northern clime, enjoying the warmth of the sun on its wings. "
