After Rome Quotes

“In the long run, the fall of one civilization is very much like the fall of another. Only the land remains.”
― Morgan Llywelyn, After Rome: A Novel of Celtic Britain

“But I once had a friend who was a cat.'
'Cats are for catching rats.'
'You say that because you think like a farmer with a store of grain to protect. But I tell you cats are for cats, just as Dinas said the stars are stars. Their purpose is simply to be, Pelemos. Cats and stars don’t belong to us.”
