Sigues terminando exactamente donde no querías estar, haciendo exactamente lo que no querías hacer, con la única diferencia de que perdiste todo el tiempo en el medio, durante el cual podrías haber estado haciendo algo divertido. Incluso peor, probablemente estuviste de un humor estresado y desagradable todo el tiempo que estuviste evitándolo. Si sabes que algo es inevitable, hazlo y termina con ello. Avanza. La vida es corta.”

Soy sexo en estado puro que te volverá del revés y te consumirá hasta dejarte reducida a cenizas. -Sonrió-. Y si quiero, luego puedo volver a hacer que estés entera.”

“Fuego para su frío, hielo para su fuego”
