I cant wait to get this book! X_X; I have found quotes though, which I adore!
'Sasha! Sasha! Sasha!' he repeated steadily. The dog pushed her nose down into the little masked face and I heard the dull thud of his head striking the bare floor when he overbalanced. I cried out sharply, but I was unable to move. I watched the dog paw him gently. And then, for the first time, I heard him laugh."
"She wanted an Angel of Music--an angel who would make her believe in herself at last. I'd been the Angel of Doom for the khanum. There was no reason in the world why I could not be the Angel of Music for Christine. I couldn't hope to be a man to her, I couldn't ever be a real, breathing, living man waking at her side and reaching out for her... But I could be her angel."
"I love you, Erik, I love you in so many different ways...but my love is the love of a child afraid to grow up."
"Such a little thing really, a kiss... most people don't give it a moment's consideration. They kiss on meeting, they kiss on parting, that simple touching of flesh is taken entirely for granted as a basic human right. I've lived on this earth half a century without knowing what it is to be kissed... and I'll never know now."
"She had shrouded her face in the wedding veil, and seeing this I suddenly knew a moment of intense remorse. I'd totally dismantled this child... taken her to pieces in my crazed determination to make her heart tick in harmony with my own. I'd taught her to sing like one of God's own angels, I'd loved her more than anything else upon this earth... but my love had destroyed her, reduced her to a pitiful creature barely aware of her own actions... made her as mad as I was myself."
