Quotes from the Book
The world is progressing. One man cannot slow it, no matter how determined he is." He stopped in the path. You cannot stop the tides from changing, Dusk. No matter how determined you are. His mother’s words.
So many questions. Could she not think about what the answers might be before asking?
You could not stop times from changing, his mother said, no more than you could stop the surf from rolling.
It looked like a bird - in the same way that a wolf looked like a lapdog.
That was the nature of the waters. You never knew what lurked below.
