Young Morabito

“What if one happens to be possessed of a heart that can’t be trusted—? What if the heart, for its own unfathomable reasons, leads one willfully and in a cloud of unspeakable radiance away from health, domesticity, civic responsibility and strong social connections and all the blandly-held common virtues and instead straight towards a beautiful flare of ruin, self-immolation, disaster?”
― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“One of the largest barbarians spouted after donning Trantan royalty clothing, "I would be a great nobleman. I look splendid.”
― Dennis K Hausker, Primitives of Kar
