Book cover for Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #1)
They had both come from their beds without bothering to dress, and hence were wearing astonishingly flimsy nightgowns, the only solace of the night.

“When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Napoléon Bonaparte
“China is a sleeping giant; let him sleep, for if he wakes, he will shake the World.”
Napoleon

Arundhati Roy
“It is only now, these years later, that Rahel with adult hindsight recognized the sweetness of that gesture. A grown man entertaining three raccoons, treating them like real ladies. Instinctively colluding in the conspiracy of their fiction, taking care not to decimate it with adult carelessness. Or affection.

It is after all so easy to shatter a story. To break a chain of thought. To ruin a fragment of a dream being carried around carefully like a piece of porcelain.

To let it be, to travel with it, as Velutha did, is much the harder thing to do.”
Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

Nicole Krauss
“Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.”
Nicole Krauss, The History of Love
