Giving this cruel treasure to our unblemished women? Did you think of this and rage and want to kill? Did you remember all the insults down the years from French, British and American alike Did you remember the threat of their guns? I was not there during those dark days of anguish and confusion when the palace shook with intrigue and rumor that the greedy determined men downtown were plotting your ruin and demise of our nation. --from "Manawaʻino”

“And after the performance, [Barry and Lup] take each other's hands high in the air. And they swoop down in this over-the-top bow, just...laughing, at the drama of it all. And the audience cheers, and Barry and Lup laugh, and they don't let each other's hands go. And then they stop laughing. And they don't let each other's hands go. And they keep not letting go.”

“But even so... there's still that but. That tiny, terrified voice in the back of my mind. Just knowing those awful things are happening to someone... It's hard not to let it settle inside of you, undermining every single thing you hope for, until the bar just drops lower and lower. Until we get here. Feeling like we're supposed to be grateful anyway.”
