The Lost Country Quotes

“If the things that you killed were ugly, and you did not love them, then killing was nothing, and it did not matter. But when the things that you killed were beautiful, and you loved them and respected them, and if it was necessary to kill them, then killing them was something terrible and tender, and almost like love.”
― J.R. Salamanca, The Lost Country

“What is it to be alive? It is something terribly lonely and separate. I think we have come from some far-off valley and left a mourning lover.”
― J.R. Salamanca, The Lost Country
