Book cover for The Big Book of Classic Fantasy
Instead, we hope you simply enjoy the energy of a chaotic, miasmic period—one in which the fantastical is often playful and sui generis as it shakes off the expectations of the past.

E.M. Forster
“We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won't do harm - yes, choose a place where you won't do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.”
E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

Anne Carson
“LII.
For, if you think about it,
all first hatred of strangers

contains this idea of death,

of your death which will one day walk up to you
in just such a fashion.
Buon giorno, death will say.

LIII.
What is the holiness of conversation?

It is
to master death.”
Anne Carson, Glass, Irony and God

John Keats
“Touch has a memory. O say, love, say,
What can I do to kill it and be free?”
John Keats

Antônio Xerxenesky
“Uma pessoa não vira adulta ao conseguir emprego, ao aceitar que a vida pode ser entediante, e que fazer o que detestamos durante oito horas por dia é parte integrante da experiência humana, não, não tem nada a ver com trabalho, viramos adultos quando pessoas da nossa idade morrem de forma absolutamente estúpida e podemos contemplar, com a lucidez necessária, a fragilidade e o absurdo da vida.”
Antônio Xerxenesky, As Perguntas

Donna Tartt
“It's a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves? Euripides speaks of the Maenads: head thrown I back, throat to the stars, "more like deer than human being." To be absolutely free! One is quite capable, of course, of working out these destructive passions in more vulgar and less efficient ways. But how glorious to release them in a single burst! To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal! These are powerful mysteries. The bellowing of bulls. Springs of honey bubbling from the ground. If we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. Then spit us out reborn.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History
