“Then a miracle occurred in the form of a plate of sandwiches. Geryon took three and buried his mouth in a delicious block of white bread filled with tomatoes and butter and salt. He thought about how delicious it was, how he liked slippery foods, how slipperiness can be of different kinds. I am a philosopher of sandwiches, he decided. Things good on the inside.”
“Glorious indeed is the world of God around us, but more glorious the world of God within us.”
“Iâ€™m a screwed-up person who no longer knows how to communicate with the people I love. But I meant everything I told you in my letter. If I were your Nikki, I would have come back to you on Christmas Day, but Iâ€™m not Nikki. I know. And Iâ€™m sorry.”
“I've never declined to do an interview.”
“Once again, I donâ€™t quite know where Iâ€™m headed Steph. It seems that every few years Iâ€™m shoveling up the pieces of my life and starting from scratch all over. No matter what I do or how hard I try I canâ€™t seem to reach the dizzy heights of happiness, success, and security, like so many people do. And Iâ€™m not talking about becoming a millionaire and living happily ever after. I just mean reaching a point in my life that I can stop what Iâ€™m doing, take a look around me, breathe a sigh of relief, and think â€œIâ€™m where I want to be now.”

“Youâ€™re like a god from a Greek myth, Saiman. You have no empathy. You have no concept of the world beyond your ego. Wanting something gives you an automatic right to obtain it by whatever means necessary with no regard to the damage it may do. I would be careful if I were you. Friends and objects of deitiesâ€™ desires dropped like flies. In the end the gods always ended up miserable and alone." â€” Kate Daniels”
