Quote by Kellen Graves

“If this was what it meant to die, Saffron had to wonder why Persephone in myth ever thought to return to the surface at all. He would take her place without question.”

“Te sientes sola cuando sales con un chico, y haces el amor en su piso, y él se esfuerza por ser simpático y hacerte sentir bien, pero es como si todas sus atenciones se dirigiesen a tu cuerpo y no a tu mente (te hace el amor, te hace la cena) y sientes que cada minuto que pasas con él solo contribuye a que os canséis un poco más el uno del otro, y cuando os separáis finges que es doloroso, pero en realidad lo estás deseando porque supone un alivio dejar de esforzarte por complacer al otro, y cuando llegas a casa tientes la impresión de que él ya no ha vuelto a pensar en ti desde que saliste de la suya, tienes la sensación de que has salido de su vida para siempre, aunque sepas que al día siguiente te volverá a llamar y volverás a tener sexo con él, pero esa noche, mientras te desnudas en silencio y te metes en la cama, estás segura de que él no está pensando en ti, que nadie piensa en ti, en realidad, y también estás segura de que si descuelgas el teléfono y llamas a tu madre, a tus hermanas o a alguna de tus pocas amigas, o lo llamas a él, cualquiera de ellos se sorprenderá de ver tu número y de oír tu voz, y les llevará unos segundos hacer un hueco para acomodar tu presencia en su mundo, porque solo eres algo ajeno que entra y sale a la escena de sus vidas, algo que no deja más huella que un tenue rastro de incomodidad. La soledad es algo difícil de explicar, y si no te has sentido así jamás, enhorabuena.”

“Does love even have a sex? I doubt it. If you are lucky enough to love, who cares what decorative flesh your lover sports? The divine delta, that juicy fig, the powerful phallus, that scepter of state- each is only an aspect of Aphrodite, after all. We are all hermaphrodites at heart- aren't we? The delta is as soft as Aphrodite, the phallus stiff as Ares' spear. And no one wears anything for long but a coat of dust. Only the songs of passion linger”

“Mother Earth never forgot, because her consciousness was not subject to time and traveled through eternity as in a unique point in time. Fearsome powers could always be on her side, forces that no one could dominate except herself, Gaia, the Earth with the vast chest. And the moment would come, inescapable, when everyone would be called to account again.”

“In the eternal regions of consciousness, empty of space, at the same time filled with silence and animated by a fertile agitation, the Mother of all things lamented painfully. The world that she had generated to keep Chaos at a distance was convulsing, prey to passions, desires, extreme effervescence, without hope of ever finding serenity.”

“Persephone Speaks “I asked him for it. For the blood, for the rust, for the sin. I didn’t want the pearls other girls talked about, or the fine marble of palaces, or even the roses in the mouth of servants. I wanted pomegranates— I wanted darkness, I wanted him. So I grabbed my king and ran away to a land of death, where I reigned and people whispered that I’d been dragged. I’ll tell you I’ve changed. I’ll tell you, the red on my lips isn’t wine. I hope you’ve heard of horns, but that isn’t half of it. Out of an entire kingdom he kneels only to me, calls me Queen, calls me Mercy. Mama, Mama, I hope you get this. Know the bed is warm and our hearts are cold, know never have I been better than when I am here. Do not send flowers, we’ll throw them in the river. ‘Flowers are for the dead’, ‘least that’s what the mortals say. I’ll come back when he bores me, but Mama, not today.”
