1 " Now every mortal has painand sweat is constant,but if there is anything dearer than being alive,it's dark to me.We humans seem disastrously in love with this thing(whatever it is) that glitters on the earth--we call it life. We know no other.The underworld's a blankand all the rest just fantasy. "
― Anne Carson , Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides
2 " He's Darkness. Unpleasant. I wouldn't trust him. Nor do I trust every mortal I meet. I don't know where evil comes from, and frankly it doesn't matter. Not right now. Histories and myths are renamed and reinvented eternally across the world. I can't speak to that. What I do know? This is your story. "
― Leanna Renee Hieber , The Darkly Luminous Fight for Persephone Parker (Strangely Beautiful, #2)
