“Jarret supporters have been known, now and then, to form mobs and burn people at the stake for being witches. Witches! In 2032! A witch, in their view, tends to be a Moslem, a Jew, a Hindu, a Buddhist, or, in some parts of the country, a Mormon, a Jehovah’s Witness, or even a Catholic. A witch may also be an atheist, a “cultist,” or a well-to-do eccentric. Well-to-do eccentrics often have no protectors or much that’s worth stealing. And “cultist” is a great catchall term for anyone who fits into no other large category, and yet doesn’t quite match Jarret’s version of Christianity. Jarret’s people have been known to beat or drive out Unitarians, for goodness’ sake. Jarret condemns the burnings, but does so in such mild language that his people are free to hear what they want to hear. As for the beatings, the tarring and feathering, and the destruction of “heathen houses of devil-worship,” he has a simple answer: “Join us! Our doors are open to every nationality, every race! Leave your sinful past behind, and become one of us. Help us to make America great again.” He’s had notable success with this carrot-and-stick approach. Join us and thrive, or whatever happens to you as a result of your own sinful stubbornness is your problem.”

“Una vez leí en un libro: «Amar a alguien no es poseerlo, sino dejarlo ser». Y Nelson nunca me había dejado ser yo. Aquellas palabras me habían despertado y se habían alojado en mi corazón. Su dueño, Gabriel Savage, me hizo entender que había estado ciega toda mi vida. Me volví su fan; no por sus hermosas historias, sino porque había tocado mi alma como ningún otro con su palabras, con sus ideas, con su concepción acerca de lo que debería ser el amor. No podía decirle que gracias a él me había vuelto una mujer libre, una mujer que había aprendido a pensar por sí misma. No podía decirle que lo amaba, porque sabía que no me correspondería; no como deseaba ser correspondida.”
