“I always marvel at this sort of woman, the sort who accepts total, monogamous devotion like it's her birthright. To my experience, there's nothing that unites these women - they can be smart as pinstripes or dumb as fake fur, they can have classic beauty of a perfectly ripe Honeycrisp apple or the compelling plainness of pie. They tend to be skinny: perhaps their performance of appetite suggests comfort with deprivation. Maybe they dupe men into thinking that they, like air plants, don't need nourishment to survive. I suspect what makes these women irresistible is this: the women who impassion men are those who can maintain that tension between being in love and succumbing to it.”

“That's what every religion teaches," Sazed said, frustration mounting. "Yet in each of them I find inconsistencies, logical leaps, and demands of faith I find impossible to accept." ... "It sounds to me, young one," Haddek said, "that you're searching for something that cannot be found." "The truth?" Sazed said. "No," Haddek replied. "A religion that requires no faith of its believers." ... "But you don't know," Sazed said." "You are offered proof only once you believe, but if you believe you can find proof in anything. It is a logical conundrum." "Faith isn't about logic, son," Haddek said. "Perhaps that's your problem. You cannot disprove the things you study, any more than we can prove to you that the Hero will save us. We simply must believe it, and accept the things Preservation has taught us.”
