Book cover for Cleopatra
‘We are not like the common man,’ Father had once said. ‘We may bleed and die like them, but when we bleed, so too does our land. And we never die, not truly. For there is always another Ptolemy to take our place.’

Graham Greene
“A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead.”
Graham Greene, The End of the Affair

Stacy Schiff
“As Dio observed later, democracy sounded very well and good, “but its results are seen not to agree at all with its title. Monarchy, on the contrary, has an unpleasant sound, but is a most practical form of government to live under. For it is easier to find a single excellent man than many of them.”
Stacy Schiff, Cleopatra: A Life

Ernest Hemingway
“We ate well and cheaply and drank well and cheaply and slept well and warm together and loved each other.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Zadie Smith
“The past is always tense, the future perfect.”
Zadie Smith

Ernest Hemingway
“But Paris was a very old city and we were young and nothing was simple there, not even poverty, nor sudden money, nor the moonlight, nor right and wrong nor the breathing of someone who lay beside you in the moonlight.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition
