Quotes by Andromeda Romano-Lax (?)

“Since I was a very small boy, traveling from town to town, three hundred days a year, I learned to love this life. The cradlelike rock and sway of the train, the hospitality of our countrymen, the gentle hearts of our countrywomen. You will find that, as long as you keep moving, there is no end to the delights awaiting you. But you must keep moving, Feliu. Even when the heart skips; even when the view blurs.”
― Andromeda Romano-Lax, The Spanish Bow

“John was wrong about many things but right about at least one: Fear determines so much. Fear of being in the dark. Being alone. Being wrong. Growing old. Losing potency. Losing control.”
― Andromeda Romano-Lax, Behave
