That’s the other thing about having professors as parents: They name you after totally random authors—like poor Geoff, after Geoffrey Chaucer—or characters from literature, such as the Lady of Shalott, aka Lady Elaine, who killed herself because Sir Lancelot liked Queen Guinevere—you know, the one Keira Knightley played in that King Arthur movie—better than he liked her. 

I don’t care how beautiful the poem is about her. It’s not exactly cool to be named after someone who killed herself over a guy. I have mentioned this several times to my parents, but they still don’t get it.

home isn’t just a place, you know. it’s people who make a home…people you care about, and who care about you…or who would, if you didn’t turn around and abandon them for tahiti because you believe in some dumb prophecy. i don’t know if this light and dark thing is for real, mr. morton, but i do know one thing: if you and this so-called order really were on will’s side, you wouldn’t just leave him without even trying to help. he would never do that to you. if will really is arthur—and i’m not saying he is, because i think this whole thing is wack—would he really just sit back and say, ‘oh, well, i can’t change this, because no one’s ever done it before,’ and just leave you to die? no, he wouldn’t. and you know what, mr. morton? i’m not going to, either.
