“În acea clipă viața s-a frânt în Bartholomeus și la fiecare pas făcut de atunci așchiile vieții îl înțepau peste tot pe dinăuntru și durerea era cruntă.”
Flavius Ardelean, Bășica Lumii și a ne’Lumii

“Au povestitorii grijă să le ciopârțească rămășițele ca să nu le vadă ne’Omul de rând, zise Hiran Sak. Uneori le mai scapă câte unul și, de-l vede ne’Omul obișnuit, naște mituri și istorii din ce în ce mai smintite. E în stare să clădească temple, credințe, cetăți întregi pe asemenea scorneli. Dar află tu că și povestitorii îi lasă, că, cu cât sunt mai multe povești pe lume, cu atât îi e mai greu ne’Omului să afle ce-i plăsmuire și ce-i aievea. Însă mai tot ce au e plăsmuire.”
Flavius Ardelean, Bășica Lumii și a ne’Lumii

Maggie Stiefvater, All the Crooked Saints

“Darkness, though, grows like a cave formation. Slow drips from the uneasiness harden over the surface of a slick knob of pain. Over time, the darkness crusts in unpredictable layers, growing at such a pace that one doesn’t notice it has filled every cavern under the skin until movement becomes difficult or even impossible.”
Maggie Stiefvater, All the Crooked Saints

Ursula K. Le Guin
“Athshe, which meant the Forest, and the World. So Earth, Terra, meant both the soil and the planet, two meanings and one. But to the Athsheans soil, ground, earth was not that to which the dead return and by which the living live: the substance of their world was not earth, but forest. Terran man was clay, red dust. Athshean man was branch and root. They did not carve figures of themselves in stone, only in wood.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Word for World is Forest
