" When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but did not know it. And I had love, but did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And know, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment. Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially,
mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Endless affection,
mio Sofia."
Forever yours,
Ezio Auditore
