Jeaniene Frost
“Lucifier's bloody ball sack, I don't believe it." ~ Bones”
Jeaniene Frost, This Side of the Grave

Tracy Deonn
“We ran for many reasons. We ran to protect ourselves. We ran so we would not die, so that our daughters could live.”
Tracy Deonn, Bloodmarked

“Література дозволяє нам пробратися у чужі голови, у чужинські місця, і подивитись на світ чужими очима. А тоді у розповіді ми зупиняємося перед моментом смерті, и помираємо відчуджено і безболісно – а в реальному світі перегортаємо сторінку, згортаємо книжку і продовжуємо наше життя”
Ніл Ґейман, American Gods: Tenth Anniversary

Donna Tartt
“And what does a person with such a romantic temperament seek in the study of the classics? He asked this as if, having had the good fortune to catch such a rare bird as myself, he was anxious to extract my opinion while I was still captive in his office.
'If by romantic you mean solitary and introspective,' I said, 'I think romantics are frequently the best classicists.'
He laughed. 'The great romantics are often failed classicists. But that's beside the point, isn't it?”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Donna Tartt
“It's a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves? Euripides speaks of the Maenads: head thrown I back, throat to the stars, "more like deer than human being." To be absolutely free! One is quite capable, of course, of working out these destructive passions in more vulgar and less efficient ways. But how glorious to release them in a single burst! To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal! These are powerful mysteries. The bellowing of bulls. Springs of honey bubbling from the ground. If we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. Then spit us out reborn.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History
