“If I owned a volume, I would beg you to print ten thousand copies on your presses and distribute them in the streets of every city in Europe.”

“You’d have to show me a way to make a profit from it first,” Quincy responded evenly.

“Arch tilted his head and raised an eyebrow, returning to his book as he answered, “I would build an argument so enticing and passionate you couldn’t deny me.”

“After some time, Fisher said, “Per aspera ad astra.”

Quincy turned towards him. “What’s that?”

“Latin. It means to the stars through difficulties.”

By natural extension of the conversation, she looked up, viewing the faint points of light fighting down through a soft haze. “Does anyone make it, Fisher? To the stars?”

“I believe we have, Quince. We’ve seen the worst but known the best.”
Beth Brower, The Q
