Quote by Lark Maitland

“Luke realized he was staring at Denton, and hoped he only seemed like a man dubious of the intellect of the fairer sex. And not what he was. A man who knew that women were easily as smart as men, and quite often far smarter. But that Grace Chetwood was vapid, distractible, spoiled, self-indulgent, and infuriating.”

“...He could strike down the prisoners and he could stamp on the may-beetles, but what he was aiming at was out of reach and could not be killed. At last he understood. He had undertaken the task which no army, no police force, no militia, no party, no organization could successfully carry out. It would have been necessary to kill all human beings down to the very last, and even then it was possible, yes, it was probable that their imperishable spirit would remain behind them like a smile of heaven over the face of earth.”
