Amor Quote by Kristin Cashore
““—Ya sé que me tomas el pelo —dijo él, divertido—. Y deberías saber que no es fácil lograr que me sienta humillado. No me importa que caces para que coma, o me des una paliza cada vez que luchemos y me protejas cuando nos ataquen. Yo te agradezco que lo hagas. —Pero no tendré que protegerte nunca si nos atacan, y dudo que necesites que cace tu comida. —Cierto. Pero lo haces mejor que yo, Katsa, y eso no me humilla. —Echó una rama al fuego—. Me da una lección de humildad, pero no es humillante.””
