Adventures At Sea Quotes

1. "-No necesitas gastar cada momento del día protegiéndome ahora. Se supone que debo ser tu compañera, no tu carga, y si eso es todo lo que voy a ser para ti, entonces no quiero estar aquí nunca más. Quiero que me ames. Quiero ansiar venir aquí cada otoño. Quiero que el invierno sea mi estación favorita porque puedo pasarla contigo. Así que dime si eso va a suceder, Henry. Dime que las cosas van a mejorar, que no vas a pensar en Perséfone cada vez que me toques. Dime que vas a amarme tanto como la amas a ella, y que no voy a pasar el resto de mi eternidad estancada en la comparaciónde los recuerdos de mi hermana.-Silencio.-Por favor,-le susurré.-Te lo ruego. Si tú no lo haces...Si tú no lo haces, me voy a ir. Y no quiero decir solo por el verano. Voy a dejar el Inframundo, y no voy a volver.-"

When you smell the sea, and remember the basket of hot fried clams, and the sound of skee-balls knocking against each other, let it help you love what food can do, which is to tie this moment to that one. Then something about the wind off the sea will have settled in your mind, and carried the fried clams and squeeze of a lemon with it."

The rest, that is to say creativity, life, is optional and comes under the heading of recreation and leisure activities."
Author: Tom McDonough
