"The first three chapters were amazing -- themed history is the BEST -- but the chapter on royal & elite women was a little mushy on its definitions of "royal" and "elite", which would've helped, I think." Oct 22, 2012 11:21AM

Mary  Stewart
“If a man goes up into Parnassus after sunset, why should he not see strange things? The gods still walk there, and a man who would not go carefully in the country of the gods is a fool.”
Mary Stewart, My Brother Michael

Anne Carson
“What is an adjective? Nouns name the world. Verbs activate the names. Adjectives come from somewhere else. The word adjective (epitheton in Greek) is itself an adjective meaning 'placed on top', 'added', 'appended', 'foreign'. Adjectives seem fairly innocent additions, but look again. These small imported mechanisms are in charge of attaching everything in the world to its place in particularity. They are the latches of being.”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red: A Novel in Verse

Genevieve Valentine
“Even Ayar's back tells the right time twice a day, and it was my turn to be right.”
Genevieve Valentine, Mechanique: A Tale of the Circus Tresaulti

Elizabeth Wein
“Please come back soon. The window is always open.”
Elizabeth Wein, Code Name Verity

Elizabeth Wein
“But a part of me lies buried in lace and roses on a riverbank in France-a part of me is broken off forever. A part of me will be unflyable, stuck in the climb.”
Elizabeth Wein, Code Name Verity
