“Immortality is a chancy thing; it cannot be promised or earned. Perhaps it cannot even be identified for what it is.”
“A man cannot deserve adventures; he cannot earn dragons and hippogriffs.”
“What would be the use of immortality to a person who cannot use well half an hour?”
“Once the seed of love peneterates deep down and takes its root, it cannot be blown away, even by the immortal gusts of wind!”
“Immorality, I know. Immortality, I cannot judge.”
“But promises are not clocks. You cannot tell time by a promise.”
