The Broken Earth Trilogy Quotes

“Isto é o que você deve se lembrar: o fim de uma história é apenas o começo de outra. Afinal, isso já aconteceu antes. Pessoas morrem. Velhas ordens passam. Novas sociedades nascem. Quando dizemos "o mundo acabou", geralmente é mentira, porque o planeta está bem.
Mas é assim que o mundo acaba.
É assim que o mundo acaba.
É assim que o mundo acaba.
Pela última vez.”

― N.K. Jemisin, The Broken Earth Trilogy
