“Love and anger are like land and sea: They meet at many different places.”
“Love is like the sea. It's a moving thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from the shore it meets, and it's different with every shore.”
“In the shaded portions where the two spheres of different lives meet, certain fundamentals- moods, loves, fears, angers- can't be hidden. That's the contract.”
“I learned it many, many years ago from a man who didn't know who he was, Your Majesty. It was a distant place where two lands meet and gods have died. But that is unimportant.”
“….in a small place like this, it’s as easy to get consumed by the idea of trying to make a difference as by the anger of not being able to.”
“This is the seashore. Neither land nor sea. It’s a place that does not exist.”
