“Holding this soft, small living creature in my lap this way, though, and seeing how it slept with complete trust in me, I felt a warm rush in my chest. I put my hand on the cat's chest and felt his heart beating. The pulse was faint and fast, but his heart, like mine, was ticking off the time allotted to his small body with all the restless earnestness of my own.”

“When the Prince comes into your life, you will stop thinking and start reasoning.”
“Guns can be a strength in the hands of trained law enforcement officials and soldiers with character, but in the hands of civilians they are not just weakness, but a sickness. Without a trained host with character, a gun acts like a parasite, it not only makes the host sick both mentally and physically, but more importantly it sickens an entire society. Let me put this in perspective. In the hands of a civilian, snake venom is poison, in the hands of a scientist, it is medicine. So to put it in a nutshell - carry goodness, not guns. Civilization will never see the sun till the civilians reject their gun.”

“Her eyes shifted to the weapon on the table. “May I hold it?”
“Sure, why not?”
I unholstered the pistol and handed it to her, holding it by the barrel assembly.
She held the gun awkwardly, angling it past me toward the stove, the muzzle’s black eye dark as a tunnel to another world.
“You can kill me, you know,” I said. “Like in that French movie we saw.”
She didn’t seem to hear me. When she spoke, her voice was thick and remote. “It’s so heavy. I didn’t know it would be so heavy.”
The air felt charged with static, the kind that comes before lightning.”

“... By disarming, you at once give offense, since you show your subjects that you distrust them, either as doubting their courage, or as doubting their fidelity, each of which imputations begets hatred against you.”
