Quote by Susan Goldsmith Wooldridge

“My friend Mary Ann told me once about a lizard trapped in a room where she was house-sitting. She couldn't rescue the lizard because it was afraid of her, so it died, hiding from its source of freedom. This made Mary Ann think that often what we fear the most might be what frees us.”

“Whisper Children are actually more powerful than any evil, Wonder,” her grandfather answered, smiling. “And we have Time on our side; we always know when the Tairharts are entering a dangerous period because those periods only occur when our Time is moving faster than the humans' Time. The rest of your training is going to consist of your observing a Ripple of Discontent being formed and the creation of a Tairhart, followed by the consequences of shards of broken hearts piercing other hearts. It will be painful for you to watch, but you must first observe the true nature of the Tairharts in order to prepare yourselves to defend the humans. Do you feel you're ready?”

“We must walk open-eyed into that trap, with courage, but small hope for ourselves. For, my lords, it may well prove that we ourselves shall perish utterly in a black battle far from the living lands; so that even if Barad-dûr be thrown down, we shall not live to see a new age. But this, I deem, is our duty. And better so than to perish nonetheless - as we surely shall, if we sit here - and know as we die that no new age shall begin.”

“We move forward, treading carefully, assessing the fault lines; the red flags; the triggers, the trigger-happy destroyers, and the destruction left in their wake; and the seers and the vigilant doers as well, those trying to stem the tide of authoritarianism and dictatorship. We continually assess when and how to protest; when and how to silently stand strong; when to retreat; and if and when we must run. All must be reflected on, new findings factored in, continually assessed and re-assessed... Talk about what's happening--it helps. Weigh your options, for yourself and those you love--it helps. Weigh your options for taking action and making a difference if you can--it helps. Make contingency plans--it helps. Fear nothing.”
