Nature Quote by Gena Showalter

“How old is he?” I asked. Again, the servant shrugged. “Three hundred Earth years would be my guess.” My jaw dropped. Three hundred fucking years old. I was attracted to a man, had kissed a man, who should have needed diapers and calcium supplements.” quote by Gena Showalter
