“Look around the room. There are those dancing because they love that music has returned. Others are cuddling because they love one another and need to touch. Even the forest outside sings for its love of the night. Wars have begun and ended because of love. I’ve seen warriors fall on blades in its name. It makes immortality less dull and brings meaning to those who visit the veil sooner than us. It makes life sweet and gives us something to long for, hope for, to hold on to, and if you’re lucky enough, something that won’t fade.”
