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

by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

to love was one thing. To let yourself be loved, well, that was the most difficult thing of all.

DAD SAID THAT THE ONLY thing you leave on this earth after you die that’s worth anything at all is your name. I wanted my father to live forever. But that wasn’t going to happen. And every time I entered a library, I was going to grab a book and write his name in it. So I could keep his name in this world.

How strange and how beautiful, to be sitting in a car and singing with your father.
