“Nobody ever figured out hiding things from kids isn’t protecting them if they know something’s wrong! It just makes me think I can’t trust myself. I can’t trust these feelings I have, these warnings I keep sensing. Like I never should have trusted you.”

“Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the same horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men.
