“The lake, the broad black water, lurked in the background of every scene we played after that-like a set from a play we did once, shuffled to the back of the scene shop where it would have been quickly forgotten if we didn’t have to walk past it ever day.”

“The sky was clear and quiet, stars peering curiously down at us from a wide dome of indigo. The water, too, was still, and I thought, what liars they are, the sky and the water. Still and calm and clear, like everything was fine. It wasn’t fine, and really, it never would be again.”

“But I suppose this is consistent with the book’s [Ulysses] theme that spiritual, not consubstantial, paternity is the important thing. Is it so unusual for the two things to coincide? What if Icarus hadn’t hurtled into the sea? What if he’d inherited his father’s inventive bent? What might he have wrought?”

I’m genuinely impressed that Bechdel can remember so many specific details from her childhood, idk how she pieced all this together but good for her

I’m dying trying to properly log these pages because in my edition it’s saying page 732 but obviously goodreads isn’t going to understand that since it considers this a separate book lol. Tolkien I hope u appreciate me having to do mental math every time I log my reading progress😭😂

“No one is perfect. No one makes it through life while and unscathed. So do not blame yourself for what is out of your control. We are here, and we have each other. That is what is important.” WAHHHHHHHHH

“Whether he wanted it or not, Morzan’s shadow would always lie upon him, and aside from his name and the scar on his back, Zar’roc was all he had from his father. It was a meager and hateful inheritance, but it was his alone, and for that he clung to it.”

lines I’m so normal about

“I understand.”
“But you don’t agree.”
The last few feet of Thorn’s tail slapped the ground. Once. Twice. Three times. “What you want isn’t what I want. […] But where you go, I will go.”
[Murtagh] nodded, grateful. Their relationship wasn’t as smooth as Eragorn and Saphira’s, and Murtagh didn’t think it ever would be. But that was all right. A dull thorn was no thorn at all.

“For a true name granted power to those who heard it, and even a magician might command an object with the proper words, so too might they command a person.

As Murtagh and Thorn had learned to their sorrow and despair during their subjugation in Urû’baen” (p. 56)

WOOF that line gives me chills

“Before sleep took him, Murtagh did as was his nightly habit and, in a silent voice, spoke the words in the ancient language that were his true name. Hearing them was never easy; to know your true name was to know your faults as surely as your virtues. Yet he said the name everyday so as to be assured he still understood his own nature and that no one besides Thorn held claim over him” (p. 56).

“Exposing a young child to the realities of love and death is far less dangerous than exposing them to the lies of the happy ending.”

“[…] [A] man’s suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely, and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. The suffering completely feels a human soul and conscious mind, no matter what the suffering is great or little. Therefore the “size” of human suffering is absolutely relative.”

“A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life, I saw the truth, as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many fingers. The truth - that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love.”

“Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you’ll live to see that in the long run - in the long run, I say! - success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it” (Frankl p. xv).

pip is starting Man's Search for Meaning
“Don’t aim at success - the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one’s dedication to a cause greater than one self or as the byproduct of one surrender to a person other than oneself” (Frankl p. xv).
