Endless List of Books I’ve Read:
↳ Aristotle & Dante Discover The Secrets of The Universe“All this time I had been trying to figure out the secrets of the universe; the secrets of my own body, of my own heart. All of the answers had always been so close and yet I had always fought them without even knowing it. And it was true what my mother said; we all fight our own private wars.”
Lila Bard, A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab
“Aren’t you afraid of dying?“ he asked Lila now.
She looked at him as if it were a strange question. And then she shook her head. “Death comes for everyone,” she said simply. “I’m not afraid of dying. But I am afraid of dying here.” She swept her hand over the room, the tavern, the city. “I’d rather die on an adventure than live standing still.”

BOOKS I’VE READ IN 2015 (SO FAR) (11-12/?) | The Diviners & Lair of Dreams
“There is no greater power on this earth than story.” Will paced the length of the room. “People think boundaries and borders build nations. Nonsense—words do. Beliefs, declarations, constitutions—words. Stories. Myths. Lies. Promises. History.” Will grabbed the sheaf of newspaper clippings he kept in a stack on his desk. “This, and these”—he gestured to the library’s teeming shelves—“they’re a testament to the country’s rich supernatural history.”

| Alternative Book Covers | “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt
I suppose at one time in my life I might have had any number of stories, but now there is no other. This is the only story I will ever be able to tell.

the secret history | francis & charles
“You left my room with him,” I said.
“Yes. He was awfully drunk. Actually a little too drunk. Which was quite convenient for him as he pretended not to remember it the next day. Charles is very prone to these attacks of amnesia after he spends the night at my house.” He looked at me out of the corner of his eye. “He denies it all quite convincingly and the thing is, he expects me to play along with him, you know, pretend it never happened,” he said. “I don’t even think he does it out of guilt. As a matter of fact he does it in this particularly light-hearted way which infuriates me.”
I said: “You like him a lot, don’t you?”

penguin classics (1/?) - The Secret History
Some things are too terrible to grasp at once. Other things - naked, sputtering, indelible in their horror - are too terrible to really grasp ever at all.
