“All about us were people. Perhaps a hundred. Men. Experience had taught me that humans were cruelest when segregated by sex, and the cold feeling in the pit of my stomach became led. What had I let myself in for?”
“This time when we kiss, I feel it in the pit of my stomach, I feel it in my heart. And I realize love isn't about sex. It's about connection.”
“My hypersensitive awareness of time's speed led me to push myself to experience life at a maximum pace. If I were going to have such a short visit on earth, I had to do everything possible to experience it now.”
“Previous experience had taught me that any expedition marches on its stomach.”
“My experience with Khonsu had taught me not be greedy about time. It was best to appreciate what you had and not yearn for more.”
“I had taught myself that a human being might as well look for diamond tiaras in the gutter as for rewards and punishments that were fair.”
