A Passagem - Volume I Quotes

“But I suppose it's part of being old to feel that way, half in one world and half in the other, all of it mixed together in my mind. No one's left who even knows my name. Folks call me Auntie, on account of I never could have children of my own, and I guess that suits me fine. Sometime it's like I've got so many people inside of me I'm never alone at all. And when I go, I'll be taking them with me.”
― Justin Cronin, A Passagem - Volume I

“The kiss. In the long hours on the catwalk, standing Mercy for Theo. Peter's mind had returned to it again and again, to the puzzle of its meaning, the kind of kiss it was. ....and it wasn't until he'd come into the Infirmary and seen her lying there that he understood what it was: a promise. A promise as clear as words from a girl who hadn't any. A kiss that said: I'll find you.”
