"Ela não é uma pessoa que caminha dentro de padrões pré-existentes. Prefere criar seus próprios trajetos"
"A simetria perfeita de seu rosto seria pertubadora em outras mulheres, mas nela, por algum motivo, funciona. Seus traços são finos, mas não são delicados. A mão que a desenhou riscava rápido. Sem errar. É uma dessas mulheres que levam escritores a cometer crimes de estilo, comparando lábios a frutas ou usando adjetivos como "transcendente"."
