“But everybody knows life isn’t worth living. Deep down I knew perfectly well that it doesn’t much matter whether you die at thirty or at seventy, since in either case other men and women will naturally go on living—and for thousands of years.”

Whatever anyone else says about this book, the main character has some awesome lines. He would fit right in to our present day society. He could even start his own Substack.

Demeter - If I had a nickel for every time my passengers died to a supernatural entity, I would have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice. Right???

(Can someone sage Demeter’s code or something? Because they really need it apparently)

I would CRY if the inheritance that was supposed to come to me was USED UP for revenge. idk how Emma is going through this without breaking down. Especially in this era where women don’t really have any choices other than family inheritances. Archibald needs to be shamed by society (he can’t even be sued because he’s poor AF).
