Quote by Alana B. Lytle

“It seemed to El like there were two kinds of loss. There was loss you might see coming, and maybe it did break your heart. But then there was loss so unexpected, so incomprehensible that the pain was the pain of your own brittle grasp on reality.”

“Trop souvent, on aime comme on va chez le boulanger. Sans passion, avec toute- fois un certain plaisir anticipé, des fois qu’un gâteau nous fasse de l’œil. On appelle ça de l’amour pour se justifier, comme le boulanger est pâtissier par la grâce des fonds de tarte industriels qu’il reçoit nocturnement par camion réfrigéré. Mais on a besoin de pain et, de temps à autre, aussi d’un gâteau – d’un dimanche, en somme – pour rompre la monotonie.”

“As Aristocleia raised her cup to toast Xanthippus, her gown slipped from her shoulders, exquisite as Aphrodite’s, and flowed like the water that slid over her naked breasts when she allowed him to watch her bathe. It was wonderful to possess a gem of a woman. It made a man feel beautiful and godlike himself, briefly.”

“This will be the rest of my life. Forced to love her from a distance. Mourn the loss of her each day. But I will. I will smother every emotion but the one that belongs to her. I will love her until I am incapable of the feeling. She is the torture I may not survive. Eagerly, she is my undoing. Her gaze lifts, meeting eyes that are not my own. Eyes of the man who gets to have her—if she allows it. She was supposed to be my forever. Now I’ll watch her become someone else’s. Because the beast doesn’t get the beauty.”
