“The Greeks have three words for love. The first is philia, the kind of love that involves liking and grows up between two people who enjoy each other’s company very much. The second is agape, the selfless love of parents for children or between those who are like family to one another. The third is eros, which explains itself—connection, spark, the desire of the body to seek fulfillment in another.”
― Luna McNamara, Psyche and Eros

“Atalanta had shown me bear tracks in the woods. A series of clawed prints, larger than my hand, leading away into the brush. The creature who had made them was long gone and could only be defined by the impressions it had left. Love was like that, noticeable only by its absence.”
― Luna McNamara, Psyche and Eros

“Laughter-loving, the poets called Aphrodite, but they never considered who or what she might be laughing at.”
― Luna McNamara, Psyche and Eros

“You will be a great lover, not a great hero, Prometheus told me once.
He was wrong. I would be both.”
― Luna McNamara, Psyche and Eros
