Ammonite

“Change is just change, Sara. Not all good, not all bad. Just different.”

Your body is changing, just as it does every time you get sick and another little piece of something else comes to live inside you.

Fortunate, too, to become bored with the past and eager to sail over the horizon or walk over the crest of the hill and see what’s on the other side.”

“And these places you go, the people you find, do you come to care for them? Or do you only study them, like strange shells you might find on the beach?”

Human meant cruelty as well as love, human was protecting one’s own at the expense of others. Human also meant having the capacity to change.
