“Katkada je sudbina kao mala pješčana oluja koja stalno mijenja smjer. Ti promijeniš smjer, ali pješčana te oluja progoni. Opet skreneš, ali oluja se prilagodi. Neprekidno se tako igraš, kao u nekakvu zlosutnom plesu sa smrti točno prije zore. Zašto? Zato što ta oluja nije nešto što je zapuhalo iz daljine, nešto što nema nikakve veze s tobom. Ta oluja si ti. Nešto unutar tebe. Tako je sve što možeš učiniti to da joj se predaš, da stupiš upravo unutar te oluje, sklopivši oči i začepivši uši da u njih ne ulazi pijesak, i kroz nju ideš, korak po korak. Tu nema sunca, ni mjeseca, ni pravca, ni osjećaja vremena. Samo fini pijesak što se kovitla u nebo kao kosti samljevene u prah. To je vrsta pješčane oluje koju trebaš zamisliti. I doista ćeš se morati probijati kroz tu silovitu, metafizičku, simboličnu oluju. Bez obzira koliko metafizička ili simbolična bila, nemoj se zavaravati: ona će se zasijecati u meso kao tisuću oštrica britve. Ljudi će u njoj krvariti, i ti ćeš krvariti. Vrelom, crvenom krvlju. Hvatat ćeš tu krv u šake, vlastitu krv i tuđu krv. A kada jednom oluja prođe nećeš se sjećati kako si uspio preživjeti. Nećeš biti ni siguran, zapravo, je li oluja stvarno prošla. Ali jedna stvar je izvjesna. Kad izađeš iz oluje nećeš biti ista ona osoba koja je u nju ušla.”

“Molawa jumped back, frightened. He stared at the ground. “I don’t smell the blood though, bruh. Is my smeller broken?” He gingerly felt his nose. “It feels not broken to me. Check it?” Eleu stepped towards Molawa and grabbed at his nose. “Definitely broke. Get it fixed. Even though it’s broke, you smell the blood.” Molawa’s eyes widened, the power of suggestion was too much. “No, no, no, you’re right! I smell so much blood. What are we bruh, sharks?” Eleu shrugged. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we had some shark DNA in us. I don’t know the names of all of my ancestors. One coulda been a shark.” Molawa nodded furiously. “Truth. I don’t know all my ancestors either. And I like to eat fish. It makes too much sense. Bruh. Thank you.” Eleu nodded sincerely. Then turned his attention back to the door. “Hey, you giants. We know you’re in there. Come on out, you stupids. And don’t try anything. There are two sharks out here.”

“When the islands were taken over, the princess, Ka’iulani, who had been tricked out of her kingdom cried out to Aloha Ke Akua.” The dots danced into the figure of a young woman, broken-hearted, sobbing on the floor beside her bed. “Aloha Ke Akua’s heart was torn apart by what he saw, so in one last act he touched the island of O’ahu.” The dots formed a giant hand and finger that touched the shape of the island. “And created Hunaia Awāwa. A sanctuary. The resting place of the resting place.”

“Political convictions then were of the utmost importance, so intensely felt that it was difficult even for well-balanced and temperate men to think of the opposition party without bitterness. To the rank and file of the Federalists, the Democrats seemed a vulgar, ignorant mob at best, at worst a group of "knaves and blockheads." To the Democrats, the Federalists appeared abandoned traitors fawning at the feet of the British government, a blindly selfish aristocracy who deserved little better treatment than the French nobility had received a few years before during the Reign of Terror.”

“The Puritans are conventionally considered more "moderate" than the Pilgrims. This is like calling al-Qaeda more moderate than ISIS. The Massachusetts Bay Colony Puritans were no less mad... They forbade Church of England clergy from setting foot in their new American theocracy in Boston and Salem, hung Quakers, and passed a law to hang any Catholic priests who might dare show up.”
