“But so much of a man's life is merely a matter of choice, the declared—the right choice, the wrong choice. And even if a man makes the wrong choice, he can still change it. He simply has to change his mind. "You're a man, Owen, aren't you? And, really, when you have good health, you men are your minds. You can become a man of action, if you want. Or of religion. Or both. You may not end up famous for it, like your beloved father, but you can be it. Tell me Owen, isn't that how it is?" She stared grimly down at the black waves and clenched the rail with both hands.”
