Book cover for The Metamorphoses Of Ovid
Notus, who flies out on drenched wings: his awesome face is veiled in pitch-black darkness, and his beard is heavy with rainclouds, and water flows down his white hairs; dark fog rests on his brow; his wings and robes are dripping.

“In the candle's flickering light, the library's thousands of books emerged from the shadows, and for a moment Nicholas could not help admiring them again. During free time he had almost never looked up from the pages he was reading, but now he saw the books anew, from without rather than from within, and was reminded of how beautiful they were simply as objects. The geometrical wonder of them all, each book on its own and all the books together, row upon row, the infinite patterns and possibilities they presented. They were truly lovely.”
Trenton Lee Stewart, The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict

“And Ulysses stopped up his ears against the siren’s song,” recited Victor, pulling the plugs from his own ears as Serena collapsed to the dirt lot, “for it was death.”
V.E. Schwab, Vicious

“…I see that something’s are hard to do, but that you can’t live with yourself if you don’t do them. I see that the best way to help myself is to help the people I care about. The rest will sort itself out. It has to, right?”
Trenton Lee Stewart, The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict

“MAMA: You must not dislike people ’cause they well off, honey.

BENEATHA: Why not? It makes just as much sense as disliking people ’cause they are poor, and lots of people do that.”
Lorraine Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun

“No sooner had he thought this than he realized what was anchoring his happiness. It was purpose. He knew what he wanted to do. He knew the way he thought things should be, and Mr. Harinton was proving that other people--even adults--could feel the same way. Nicholas had something to aim for now. He might not know what he wanted to be when he grew up, but he knew with absolute certainty how he wanted to be.”
Trenton Lee Stewart, The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict
