A Lesson in Love and Death Quotes

“This was it. She had achieved her dream. Surely life would be downhill from here, but for now she would bask in every second of this celebration of those most wonderful moments in history when magic had occurred, resulting in a special something humanity could hold, love, learn from, adore, for all eternity.”
