"‘Your mother is gone, I do not know where.’ The king paused, as if awaiting a response. Achilles said nothing. ‘My daughter, your wife, is in her room crying. She hopes you will come to her.’ I felt the flinch of Achilles’ guilt. His words came out stiffly; it was not a feeling he was used to. ‘It is unfortunate that she hopes for this.’ ‘It is indeed,’ Lycomedes said.

A Greek tragedy: deception, love, the works!"

"Classic Bateman maskin: preening, returning videos and killing.
"...head to the video store where I return two tapes I rented on Monday, She-Male Reformatory and Body Double, but I rerent Body Double because I want to watch it again tonight even though I know I won’t have enough time to masturbate over the scene where the woman is getting drilled to death by a power drill since I have a date with Courtney...""

“I know it’s not fair,” she said with a shaky smile that felt more like a grimace. “But we don’t live in a fair world. I know people look down on you for what you are and who you are.” Some emotion flickered over his face at the unspoken ...more

Madeline Miller
“So, he agreed: I would be exiled, and fostered in another man’s kingdom. In exchange for my weight in gold, they would rear me to manhood. I would have no parents, no family name, no inheritance. In our day, death was preferable. But my father was a practical man. My weight in gold was less than the expense of the lavish funeral my death would have demanded.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Bret Easton Ellis
“After getting dressed and putting my Walkman on, clipping its body to the Lycra shorts and placing the phones over my ears, a Stephen Bishop/Christopher Cross compilation tape Todd Hunter made for me,”
Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho

Avery  Collins
“I have never loved anyone like this,” he says. “I didn’t love my mother; I obeyed her. I don’t even love football. I was good at it, and it got me what she wanted for me. That was it. Then there was you.”
Avery Collins, Dirty Hit

Madeline Miller
“In our countries, a man often took a wife before his beard was fully fledged. How much earlier then, did he take a serving girl? It was expected; very few men came to their marriage beds without having done so. Those who did were unlucky indeed: too weak to compel, too ugly to charm, and too poor to pay.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Avery  Collins
“Yellow!” he gasps, voice breaking.”
