Immortality Quote by Patricia Briggs
““…I’d like to do something that means more, something that will outlast me the way these buildings have outlasted the men who built them.” “I hadn’t thought of it that way before,” said Willon slowly. “But immortality . . . I think that’s a basic instinct rather than the product of pride.””
