“And here she was. Lying on the floor of a dusty, empty, locked room thinking how grateful she felt. She smiled, though it hurt tremendously to do so, thinking how blessed she had been to have spent twelve years with the most precious gifts from God. She felt honored that they called her mother. She knew she had done the best she could teaching them about life and love, faith and family. Margo lay slowly dying from the wounds inflicted by a monster, but she was at peace. Because though the devil meant it for evil, God turned it to good.”

“In his deathbed delirium, Jackson had cried out, “Order A.P. Hill to prepare for action . . . Pass the infantry to the front.” These laurels were richly deserved, for Hill was inseparable from Jackson’s string of victories. He effected a system of command and discipline within his division which made it a model within the Army of Northern Virginia. His emphasis on speed led it to become known as the “Light Division,” despite its large size (six brigades).”

“Even the current Autocrat seemed somehow familiar and yet different - he was a bombastic business tycoon who had rallied the common man to his cause and was even now attempting to roust the cancerous elitists and their foot soldiers from the country. It felt oddly natural and familiar, but was at the same time larger and bolder than the world he left behind.”

“They had riled a hornet’s nest. In the next few hours the Sharpshooters, reinforced by more of their own men and the 3rd Maine, played havoc with the Confederates who had been massing to the rear of Pitzer’s Woods. They did not have it all their own way, though. Private Bailey George McClelen of the 10th Alabama was lying down with the rest of the regiment listening to the racket between our skirmishers and the enemy. The orders were to reserve our first shots until the enemy advanced close enough to make our shots effective.”

“First Lieutenant Haskell of Gibbon’s staff remembered the exultation of that heady moment. “The Rebel cry has ceased, and the men of the Union begin to shout there, under the smoke, and their lines to advance. See the Rebels are breaking! They are in confusion in all our front!—The wave has rolled upon the rock, and the rock has smashed it. Let us shout too!”33”

“Migocząca Gwiazda opowiadała też, że jej własna babcia była pod Grzbietem Tłustej Trawy, kiedy trwała tam słynna bitwa, którą biali nazywają bitwą pod Little Bighorn. Lakoci, Czejenowie i Arapaho pokonali w niej 7 Regiment Kawalerii pułkownika George'a Custera. – Biali kłamią – opowiadała Migocząca Gwiazda – twierdząc, że Custer zginął w walce. Indianie chcieli go oszczędzic, żeby wrócił do swoich upokorzony. Po bitwie gromady kobiet przepędzały z indiańskiej ziemi niedobitki kawalerzystów. Custer w popłochu uciekał przed kobietami. W końcu zatrzymał się, wyciągnął rewolwer i palnął sobie w łeb. Babcia babci widziała to na własne oczy.”

“The Healing spells on his chest were certainly earning their keep tonight. Sullivan got to his feet. The lack of noise from the courtyard indicated that his team had gotten all the mechanical men. “Thanks.” Toru just grunted a noncommittal response as he lifted the feed tray to check the condition of his borrowed machine gun. They didn’t see the final robot inside until it turned on its eye and illuminated the Iron Guard in blue light. Sullivan’s Spike reversed gravity, and the gigantic machine fell upward to hit the steel beams in the ceiling. Sullivan cut his Power and the robot dropped. It crashed hard into the floor where it lay twitching and kicking. The two of them riddled the mechanical man with bullets until the light died and it lay still in a spreading puddle of oil. “Normally, this would be the part where you thank me for returning the favor and saving your life.” “Yes. Normally… If we were court ladies instead of warriors,” Toru answered. “Shall we continue onward or do you wish to stop and discuss your feelings over tea?” Sullivan looked forward to the day that the two of them would be able to finish their fight. “Let’s go.”

“Faith is the surrender of the mind, it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other animals. It's our need to believe and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. ... Out of all the virtues, all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated”
