Achilles: I am Achilles, son of King Peleus and Goddess Thetis and I-

Achilles: *looks at Patroclus*

Achilles: I am very, very gay.

the song of achilles quotes that make me go feral (spoiler warning!)

if you haven’t read the book i would wholeheartedly recommend doing so, it is an insanely beautiful and amazing book! very very very heartbreaking tho

-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.

-And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.

-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.

-We reached for each other, and I thought of how many nights I had lain awake loving him in silence.

-We were like gods at the dawning of the world, & our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.

-There are no bargains between lion and men. I will kill you and eat you raw.

- I am made of memories. (this is probably my favorite book quote)

-He is half of my soul, as the poets say. That is — your friend?” “Philtatos,” Achilles replied, sharply. Most beloved.

- It is right to seek peace for the dead. You and I both know there is no peace for those who live after.

-“If you have to go, you know I will go with you.”

-I let him hold me, let him press us length to length so close that nothing might fit between us. Tears came, and fell. Above us, the constellations spun and the moon paced her weary course. We lay stricken and sleepless as the hours passed.

-What is admired in one generation is abhorred in another. We cannot say who will survive the holocaust of memory… We are men only, a brief flare of the torch.

-When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.

-When I am dead, I charge you to mingle our ashes and bury us together.

-Achilles was looking at me. “Your hair never quite lies flat, here.” He touched my head, just behind my ear. “I don’t think I’ve ever told you how I like it.”

-I will never leave him. It will be this, always, for as long as he will let me.

-“Name one hero who was happy.” I considered. Heracles went mad and killed his family; Theseus lost his bride and father; Jason's children and new wife were murdered by his old; Bellerophon killed the Chimera but was crippled by the fall from Pegasus' back. “You can't.” He was sitting up now, leaning forward. “I can't.” “I know. They never let you be famous AND happy.” He lifted an eyebrow. “I'll tell you a secret." “Tell me.” I loved it when he was like this. “I'm going to be the first.” He took my palm and held it to his. “Swear it.” “Why me?” “Because you're the reason. Swear it.” “I swear it,” I said, lost in the high color of his cheeks, the flame in his eyes. “I swear it,” he echoed. We sat like that a moment, hands touching. He grinned. I feel like I could eat the world raw.

I look around my room. My Sherlock poster the old Christmas lights are precariously balanced on. The sheet of stickers sellotaped to my wall that I found in year 8. My Torchwood poster that’s too high to take down. The medals for participation I won in my year 4 sports day. I look to the stuffed toys on top of the cupboard all my old dolls are in. This stuff’s watched me grow up. How long have I had some of it?

In a move I move away. In a month I go to university. Will they remember me? That polar bear that I spilt glow stick liquid on in the middle of the night, that’s now matted and ripped in several places. Will he remember watching me grow and get old? Move on from the innocent child to who I am today, who I’ll be tomorrow?

I hope he will. I’ll remember him. I’ll remember all of them. And in years to come, no matter how many, I’ll look back.

And I’ll say thank you.

“Stop trying to come up with reasons for why I’m doing what I’m doing. I’m not scared, I’m not misguided and I sure as hell don’t have a tragic backstory.” They got closer, I could feel their minty breath on my face. I looked up, meeting their eyes, their cold blue, sharp eyes. A smile crept upon them but those eyes remained angered, dangerous.

“I do it because it enjoy it.”
