Madeline Miller
“Have you no more memories?"
I am made of memories.
"Speak, then.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Madeline Miller
“Name one hero who was happy."
"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”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Madeline Miller
“Achilles' eyes were bright in the firelight, his face drawn sharply by the flickering shadows. I would know it in dark or disguise, I told myself. I would know it even in madness.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Madeline Miller
“I conjure the boy I knew. Achilles, grinning as the figs blur in his hands. His green eyes laughing into mine. Catch, he says. Achilles, outlined against the sky, hanging from a branch over the river. The thick warmth of his sleepy breath against my ear. If you have to go, I will go with you. My fears forgotten in the golden harbor of his arms.
The memories come, and come. She listens, staring into the grain of the stone. We are all there, goddess and mortal and the boy who was both.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Madeline Miller
“We reached for each other, and I thought of how many nights I had lain awake loving him in silence.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
