Brent Weeks
“A megértés különbözteti meg a kurtizánt a szajhától. Minden egyes férfinak, aki belép az ajtómon, a bőrébe bújok. Ha ismerem a férfit, tudom, hogyan tegyek a kedvére. Tudom, hogyan irányítsam úgy, hogy megpróbálja megvásárolni a szerelmemet, és versenyezzen a többiekkel, akik ugyanezt szeretnék, de ne legyen rájuk féltékeny.”
Brent Weeks, The Way of Shadows

“Finding out that you are not your lover’s only lover hurts, but not as much as discovering that you are the side chick … or the side dick.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana
