“That was my story. Or at least the way I remember it. What happened to those characters and the places that had to do with those turbulent times, can be researched in libraries or the memories of the elderly. People like Beigbeder, Rosalinda, or Hillgarth went on to the history books.
People like Marcus and me didn't. 
But that doesn't mean our lives were less important. Because, in the end, we all play a part in the world's fate. And Marcus and I always stood on the other side of the story.
Actively invisible during that time we lived in between the seams.”
― María Dueñas, The Time in Between

“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”

“With most animals, as with man, the alertness of the senses diminishes after years of work, after domestic habits and progress of culture.”
