Magnus Quotes

“I was almost sixty years old by then, and comfortable-even happy- with the idea that my days of love and adventure were over. When I looked back on my life, it was with clear eyes, Yes, I had suffered. But I was wise enough by then to understand that my suffering was never a punishment, that it was just the way things turned out for me. But I hadn't just suffered. I loved, too. And I was loved. And it was a great love, one of those loves that not even most of us get to experience. When I lay my head on the pillow at night, it was truly without regret or grievance in my heart.”
― Joanna Bell, Magnus

“You smile," he whispered, his voice so low I could barely hear it. "Such a beautiful smile, my love. That smile has been the light of my life, do you know it?" "Yes", I nodded chocking with emotions. "Yes, yes." "It is right that you smile. It is not many who have a love like ours. Even when you put me in the ground, you will still have our love. Until the day I see you again, you will have it.”
