The Way Back Quotes

“It was not a maze, but a labyrinth. One path masqueraded as many. No matter which fork he chose, the destination was the same. The choice was never false—only the choosing. The direction matters less than you think.”
― Gavriel Savit, The Way Back

“Death frowned, light and tight. “I might ask you the same question. For as much as it frightens each of you to see my face, it grieves me to see each of yours.”
Because the Messenger comes for each of us in turn. Because, if by nothing else, we are bound together by her visit.
And in this way, it is a kindness. In this way, the Messenger’s terrible face is a reminder that none of us is alone.”
― Gavriel Savit, The Way Back
