Text Quotes
When I first started studying Greek, one of my absolute favorite parts was realizing that so many English words had these old, secret roots. Learning Greek was like being given a super-power: linguistic x-ray vision  (Madeline Miller Quotes) The door snicked shut  (Madeline Miller Quotes) My mind is filled with cataclysm and apocalypse. I wish for earthquakes, eruptions, flood  (Madeline Miller Quotes) No man is worth more than another, wherever he is from  (Madeline Miller Quotes) ...nothing could eclipse the stain of his dirty, mortal mediocrity  (Madeline Miller Quotes) I feel like I could eat the world raw  (Madeline Miller Quotes) In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun  (Madeline Miller Quotes) Perhaps it is the greatest grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone  (Madeline Miller Quotes) He is more worth to you, perhaps. But the stranger is someone else’s friend and brother. So which life is more important?  (Madeline Miller Quotes) And when he moved it was like watching oil spread across a lake, smooth and fluid, almost vicious  (Madeline Miller Quotes) It was almost like fear, in the way it filled me, rising in my chest. It was almost like tears, in how swiftly it came. But it was neither of those, buoyant where they were heavy, bright were they dull  (Madeline Miller Quotes) He is a weapon, a killer. Do not forget it. You can use a spear as a walking stick, but that will not change its nature  (Madeline Miller Quotes) I stopped watching for ridicule, the scorpion’s tail hidden in his words. He said what he meant; he was puzzled if you did not. Some people might have mistaken this for simplicity. But is it not a sort of genius to cut always to the heart?  (Madeline Miller Quotes) I lay back and tried not to think of the minutes passing. Just yesterday we had a wealth of them. Now each was a drop of heartsblood lost  (Madeline Miller Quotes) I found myself grinning until my cheeks hurt, my scalp prickling till I thought it might lift off my head. My tongue ran away from me, giddy with freedom. This, and this, and this, I said to him. I did not have to fear that I spoke too much. I did not have to worry that I was too slender, or too slow. This and this and this! I taught him how to skip stones, and he taught me how to carve wood. I could feel every nerve in my body, every brush of air against my skin  (Madeline Miller Quotes) I shift, an infinitesimal movement, towards him. It is like the leap from a waterfall. I do not know, until then, what I am going to do  (Madeline Miller Quotes) I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world  (Madeline Miller Quotes) We were like gods at the dawning of the world, and our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other  (Madeline Miller Quotes) And her skin shone luminous and impossibly pale, as if it drank light from the moon  (Madeline Miller Quotes)
