Book cover for Lie With Me
Today, I’d like to slap this seventeen-year-old kid, not because of the good grades but because of his incessant need to please those who would judge him.

Anne Carson
“Geryon was a monster everything about him was red”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red: A Novel in Verse

Maggie Stiefvater
“Adam lived in an apartment located above the office of St. Agnes Catholic Church, a fortuitous combination that focused most of the objects of Ronan's worship into one downtown block.”
Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven King

Anne Carson
“Geryon was amazed at himself. He saw Herakles just about every day now.
The instant of nature
forming between them drained every drop from the walls of his life
leaving behind just ghosts
rustling like an old map. He had nothing to say to anyone. He felt loose and shiny.
He burned in the presence of his mother
I hardly know you anymore, she said leaning against the doorway of his room.
It had rained suddenly at suppertime,
now sunset was startling drops at the window. Stale peace of old bedtimes
filled the room. Love does not
make me gentle or kind, thought Geryon as he and his mother eyed each other
from opposite shores of the light”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red: A Novel in Verse

Richard Siken
“If you love me, Henry, you don’t love me in a way I understand.”
Richard Siken, Crush

E.M. Forster
“You do care a little for me, I know... but nothing to speak of, and you don't love me. I was yours once till death if you'd cared to keep me, but I'm someone else's now... and he's mine in a way that shocks you, but why don't you stop being shocked, and attend to your own happiness.”
E.M. Forster, Maurice
