Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World (Aristotle and Dante, #2)

by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

“This feeling, this grief, this sorrow. It’s a new thing. It seems like it owns me.” “It does own you, Ari. But it won’t own you forever.”

and I never thought I could love this much or hurt this much. And even though a part of me felt like it had died, another part of me felt alive.

the cool wind blew on our faces and it made me feel alive. There were clouds in the distance, and I could smell the rain. It was like my father was sending me what I loved most. Or maybe it was the universe that was sending me the rain. Or maybe it was God. Maybe it didn’t matter.

I wondered if I would ever learn to stop raining on my own parade.
