“We can deny the destructive nature of our choices. And we can deny the consequences of those choices even when they litter the landscape of our lives and our culture with the burning wreckage of our foolishness. But are we ignorant enough to die by the hand of the ignorance that we’ve perpetually fed because it serves our agenda, or do we wish to live by letting it starve so that it’s no longer feeding on us?”

“Війна — це час нашої абсолютної непідготовленості. А якщо ти не знаєш, яка поведінка є правильною, то здорова частка каже: обирай будь-яку, і це буде слушно. Але критик каже навпаки: хай що ти обереш, усе буде хибним.”

“God provided wood as well as the skill of the carpenter. He provided marble as well as the skill of the sculptor. But by far, the greatest thing that He provided us with was the freedom to use the provisions in whatever manner we might choose. And the greatest skill that He granted us was the wisdom to use them wisely. Therefore, if we have abused the freedom and abandoned the wisdom we will destroy a million trees and turn quarries of marble to powder. And at that point, we will have nothing to build with and everything to grieve for.”

“A gun safety instructor once told me that if you pull the trigger you’re going to create a hole somewhere. So, in the choices that we make in life we would be wise to consider the fact that we’re going to create a hole. And therefore we might want to consider where that hole should be and where it shouldn’t. But maybe the most significant thing that we need to consider is that most triggers never need to be pulled.”

“Tell me why," she says. "Why would you want to lie to me? Why would you take a choice from me?" Her gaze has softened and she's looking at me as Ky again- the person she loves- and somehow that's even worse. All the reasons I lied run through my head: because I can't lose you, because I was jealous, because I don't trust anyone, because I can't even trust myself, because, because, because. "You know why," I say, anger flaring in me suddenly. At everything. Everyone. The Society, the Rising, my father, myself, Indie, Xander, Cassia. "No, I don't," she beings, but I don't let her finish. "Fear," I say, holding her gaze. "We were both afraid. I was afraid of losing you. You were afraid, back in the Borough. When you took my choice away from me.”
