Notus, who flies out on drenched wings: his awesome face is veiled in pitch-black darkness, and his beard is heavy with rainclouds, and water flows down his white hairs; dark fog rests on his brow; his wings and robes are dripping.
“Rebellion is perhaps among the deepest roots of science: the refusal to accept the present order of things... Perhaps poetry is another of science's deepest roots: the capacity to see beyond the visible.”

“And Ulysses stopped up his ears against the siren’s song,” recited Victor, pulling the plugs from his own ears as Serena collapsed to the dirt lot, “for it was death.”

“Nanao can’t escape this thought: if it happened once it can happen again, and if it happened twice it can happen three times, and if three times then four, so we might as well say that if something happens once it’ll keep happening forever.”

“That’s tough,’ Kabuto says politely. It doesn’t especially matter what makes it tough. Everyone in the world has something tough to deal with, so it’s always a safe bet to make people feel like their struggle is noticed and appreciated.”

“Take a drink every time you hear you’re not enough.
Not the right fit.
Not the right look.
Not the right focus.
Not the right drive.
Not the right time.
Not the right job.
Not the right path.
Not the right future.
Not the right present.
Not the right you.
Not you.
(Not me?)
There’s just something missing.
From us.
What could I have done?
Nothing. It’s just…
(Who you are.)
I didn’t think we were serious.
(You’re just too…
…sweet.
…soft.
…sensitive.)
I just don’t see us ending up together.
I met someone.
I’m sorry
It’s not you.
Swallow it down.
We’re not on the same page.
We’re not in the same place.
It’s not you.
We can’t help who we fall in love with.
(And who we don’t.)
You’re such a good friend.
You’re going to make the right girl happy.
You deserve better.
Let’s stay friends.
I don’t want to lose you.
It’s not you.
I’m sorry.”
