Passage of the Day

"She'd spoken of their happiness as though it were an undeniable fact, no matter what happened -- apart from everything else and not subject to it. It was a new idea for him, that happiness wasn't a mystical place to be reached or won -- some bright terrain beyond the boundary of misery, a paradise waiting for them to find it -- but something to carry doggedly with you through everything, as humble and ordinary as your gear and supplies. Food, weapons, happiness."
