I was always looking toward the horizon, always wondering what waited across the next ocean, over the next mountain. But I think … I think that whole time, all those centuries, I was just looking for you.”

“War-war was coming. And they might not all survive it.”

started reading again; mostly re-reading books i’ve enjoyed in the past. coming back and finding out that you love them even more the second time around is good.
