Quote context

[...]

- Who are you?

- I am Antinous of the island of Cephalonia.

- I know of your trick with the tapestry, Penelope.

- What is it you want in my house?

- You.

- But I have not come to waste your fortune like the others have done, or to live under your roof like a parasite.

- I have not crossed the sea merely to gaze into your eyes, Penelope.

- I have come to fulfill your destiny.

- How dare you speak like that?

- Because I of all the others understand your loneliness.

- You were widowed almost before you were a wife.

- The ghost of Ulysses has haunted this house long enough. It needs a living man to rule it, to drive this pack of suitors out, to give you back your life, Penelope.

There's a part of me that loves the familiar, the end of the journey, the harbor, the cooking fires at home. There's always the other part. That part loves the voyage, the open sea, storms, strange shapes of uncharted islands, demons, giants.
