This might be a first 5/5 stars book I’ve read in a while.

“Whether the art is sculpture, farming, teaching, lawmaking, medicine, music, or raising a child, if love is not in it - at the very hearts of it - it might be skillful, marketable, or popular, but I doubt it is truly good nothing is what it’s supposed to be if love is not at the core”

“I saw the way things were going, long time back. I said nothing. I’m one of the innocence who could’ve spoken up and out when no one would listen to the guilty, but I did not speak, and thus became guilty myself. And when finally, they set the structure to burn the books, using the fireman, I granted a few times and subsided, for there were no others grunting or yelling with me, by then. Now it’s too late.

“there are too many of us. He thought their billions of us and that’s too many. Nobody knows anyone. strangers come and violate you. strangers come and cut your heart out. strangers come and take your blood. Good God, who were those men? I never saw them before in my life.”

I hate that they remind me of what I was, or could’ve been. I was a little idiot. You would’ve hated me. I was comfortable and arrogant and selfish on my knees. I like being blind to everything because I was in love. And I thought, for some reason that living for love was the most valiant thing and all the worlds. Even made Eo into something in my head that she wasn’t.
