“C'est une belle manière de se perdre, que se perdre dans les bras l'un de l'autre.”

“Tu seras mon élève, tu seras mon maître, tu acquerras la gloire, tu me seras fidèle, tu m'abandonneras, tu me reviendras toujours.
Et à l'aube se dire : Nous sommes ensemble.”

“Paul l'a écoutée, sans ciller, sans répliquer ; son beau visage détruit est demeuré impassible. A la fin, il a seulement glissé : "Je me demandais quand tu te déciderais à me faire cet aveu. Je me demandais lequel de vous deux viendrait le faire. Ce que tu m'annonces, je le sais depuis longtemps. Je le sais depuis le jour de mon retour, depuis la seconde exacte où tu as posé ton regard sur moi. C'était sur toi, l'effroi, la honte, la gêne, et puis aussi la légèreté des femmes amoureuses. C'était immanquable.”

“I am evolving from being an animal,' he said. 'But it is going very, very slowly. Sometime I try to cry and laugh like other people, just to see if it feels like anything. Yet tears don't come. Laughter doesn't come.”

“Name one hero who was happy."
I considered. Heracles went mad and killed his family; Theseus lost his bride and father; Jason's children and new wife were murdered by his old; Bellerophon killed the Chimera but was crippled by the fall from Pegasus' back.
"You can't." He was sitting up now, leaning forward.
"I can't."
"I know. They never let you be famous AND happy." He lifted an eyebrow. "I'll tell you a secret."
"Tell me." I loved it when he was like this.
"I'm going to be the first." He took my palm and held it to his. "Swear it."
"Why me?"
"Because you're the reason. Swear it."
"I swear it," I said, lost in the high color of his cheeks, the flame in his eyes.
"I swear it," he echoed.
We sat like that a moment, hands touching. He grinned.
"I feel like I could eat the world raw.”
― The Song of Achilles
