Megan Whalen Turner Quote

You'll have to pardon me, the magus said. But with your country at war I can't see how any of it really matters.Standing up, Eugenides pulled the papers from the magus's hands. It matters, because I can't do anything, anymore, for this country, and it matters, he yelled as he threw the papers back to his desk, because I only have one hand and it isn't even the right one! Turning, he picked an inkpot off the desk and threw it to shatter on the door of his wardrobe, spraying black ink across the pale wood and onto the wall. Black drops like rain stained the sheets of his bed....Eddis sighed. Will you sit down and stop shouting? she asked.I'll stop shouting. I won't sit down. I might need to throw more inkpots.
