“Achilles’ eyes lift. They are bloodshot and dead. “I wish he had let you all die.”
― The Song of Achilles

“Heroes are more than just stories, they’re people. And people are complicated; people are strange. Nobody is a hero through and through, there’s always something in them that’ll turn sour... you’ll learn it one day. There are no heroes, only villains who win.”
― The Sea-Stone Sword

“No war is ever glorious. Heroes are usually dead. Besides, they rarely turn into heroes because they are super-humans, but because of circumstances.”
― Special Forces - Soldiers
― Special Forces - Soldiers
“Name one hero who was happy.”
― The Song of Achilles
― The Song of Achilles
“I said
”I love you so much it’s killing me”
and you kept saying sorry
so I stopped explaining
for it never made sense to you
what always did to me
to let what you love
kill you
and never regret.
As Romeo is dying Juliet says
”I am willing to die to remain by your side”
and love was never a static place of rest
but the last second of euphoria
while throwing yourself out from a 20 store window
to be able to say
”I flew before I hit the ground”,
and it was glorious.
Don’t be sorry.
The fall was beautiful, dear.
The crash was beautiful.”
