Queliot/Quotes

The Magicians
"There was something off about Eliot's face. His posture was very straight, but his mouth was twisted to one side, in a permanent half grimace that revealed a nest of teeth sticking both in and out at improbable angles. He looked like a child who had been slightly misdelivered, with some subpar forceps handling by the attending. But despite his odd appearance Eliot had an air of effortless self-possession that made Quentin urgently want to be his friend, or maybe just be him period. He was obviously one of those people who felt at home in the world - he was naturally bouyant, where Quentin felt like he had to dog paddle constantly, exhaustingly, humiliatingly, just to get one sip of air."

- Quentin's first impression of Eliot

"Had Eliot really been awake for the whole thing? His brain dealt out a sloppy fan of mental Polaroids, out of sequence: an image of Janet kissing Eliot, of her hand working diligintly between Eliot's legs. Had she really been weeping? Had he kissed Eliot? A vivid sense memory of somebody else's stubble, surprisingly scratchy, chafing his cheek and upper lip."

- Quentin thinks of the threesome; Page 268

"Hell of a thing getting you out of that dungeon. Richard showed up, finally, for which I suppose we should be grateful, though god knows he doesn't make it easy. We wanted to stay, Q, but it was hard, and getting harder every day. The centaurs said it wasn't working. But if you're reading this then you woke up after all. I'm sorry about everything. I know you are too. I know I said I didn't need a family to become who I was supposed to be, but it turned out that I did. And it was you. We'll meet again."

- The Magicians Land, Page 54

"You know, it's considered extremely disrespectful to touch a king without permission. But, um, I think you should probably hug me right now. It'll also be okay if you just give my ass, like, a little squeeze."

- Quentin to Alice about Eliot; Escape from the Happy Place

"What the hell is wrong with you? Someone good and true loves you, and he went out on a limb, and yeah, it was a little crazy, but you knew. You knew this was a moment that truly mattered and you just snuffed it out. Q, I'm sorry. I was afraid, and when I'm afraid, I run away. If I ever get out of here, Q, know that when I'm braver it's because I learned it from you."
