“I wanted you to see something about her—I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs. Dubose won, all ninety-eight pounds of her. According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody. She was the bravest person I ever knew.”

“Did you step in?' Dain demands. 'Did I what?' Xaden arches a dark brow and levels a look on Dain that would make a lesser person wither. 'Did I see her outnumbered and already wounded? Did I think her bravery was as admirable as it was fucking reckless?' He turns that stare on me, and I feel the impact all the way to my toes. 'And I would do it again.' I raise my chin. 'Well-the-fuck-aware,' Xaden roars, losing his temper for the first time since I met him on Parapet. I pull in a quick breath, and Xaden does the same, as if he's just as shocked by his outburst as I am. 'Did I see her fight off three bigger cadets?' His gaze pivots to Dain. 'Because the answer to all of those is yes. But you're asking the wrong question, Aetos. What you should be asking is if Sgaeyl saw it, too.”

“Puedes equivocarte y cometer mil errores, los humanos somos así, metemos la pata, pero para eso existe también el arrepentimiento, saber decir «lo siento» cuando uno debe hacerlo. Pero, cielo, escúchame, ¿sabes qué es lo más triste de no hacer algo por cobardía? Que, con el paso del tiempo, cuando pienses en ello solo podrás pedirte perdón a ti misma por no haberte atrevido a ser valiente. Y reconciliarse con uno mismo a veces es más complicado que hacerlo con los demás.”
