As though choreographed to a beat mimicking the thumping in her breast, the precise spasmodic jerks of their several bends made her think of Madonna dancing to Vogue. They had the faultless coordination of intertwining cutlery in the hands of a hungry magician – or of the Queen eating dinner alone.

Sharing Bella's yearning for knowledge and a deeper understanding of the world, she had never lost sight of the stars. #Quote by Panayotis Cacoyannis
