Thousand years Quote by Laurell K. Hamilton

““He was silent for a little while. Then he asked, “Tell me about Nikolaos.” I shrugged. “She’s a sadistic monster, and she’s over a thousand years old.” “I look forward to meeting her.” “Don’t,” I said. “We’ve killed master vampires before, Anita. She’s just one more.” “No. Nikolaos is at least a thousand years old. I don’t think I’ve ever been so frightened of anything in my life.” He was silent, face unreadable. “What are you thinking?” I asked. “That I love a challenge.” Then he smiled, a beautiful, spreading smile. Shit. Death had seen his ultimate goal. The biggest catch of all. He wasn’t afraid of her, and he should have been. T””

“He still heard his mother's voice--"Davey"--rise like whisper-dust from unseen corners in the house, but it was no longer the only voice he heard. His ears were also filled with the voices of others--his father and Primrose and Refrigerator John and his grandmother.

“Whenever I think about ancient cultures nostalgia seizes me. Perhaps this is nothing but envy of the sweet slowness of the history of that time.
