I have not slept.
Between the acting of a dreadful thing
And the first motion, all the interim is
Like a phantasm, or a hideous dream:
The genius and the mortal instruments
Are then in council; and the state of man,
Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
The nature of an insurrection.
- William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
I sung of Chaos and Eternal Night,
Taught by the heav'nly Muse to venture down
The dark decent, and up to reascend. . .
- John Milton, Paradise Lost
Facilis descensus Averni:
Noctes antque dies patet atri ianua Ditis.
Sed grandium revocare superasque evadere ad auras;
Hoc opus, hic labor, est.
- Virgil, The Aeneid
The descent beckons
as the ascent beckoned.
- William Carlos Williams, The Descent

Are you trying to get run over by a cab?" "Don't be ridiculous," he said. "We could never get a cab that easily in this neighborhood."
"Is this the part where you start tearing off strips of your shirt to bind my wounds?" "If you wanted me to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked."
"If you were half as funny as you think you are, you'd be twice as funny as you are now."
"Jesus!" Luke exclaimed. "Actually, it's just me," said Simon. "Although I've been told the resemblance is startling."
"Unfortunately", said Hodge, "we're all out of bitter revenge at the moment, so it's either tea or nothing."

Her stomach dropped out from under her as the silver river spun away and the spires of the bridge slid under her feet, but this time Clary kept her eyes open, so that she could see it all.

It wasn't insta-love but when I finished the last page I definitely was hooked and curious to see what happens next.
