If you don't pay the fine, you'll be jailed. If you try to escape from jail, you'll be shot. ...

Not going back so that you can fly. Fly.”

“She touched the edge of its voluptuous field, knowing it would be lovely beyond dreams simply to submit to it; that not gravity's pull, laws of ballistics, feral ravening, promised more delight. She tested it, shivering: I am meant to remember. Each clue that comes is supposed to have its own clarity, its fine chances for permanence. But then she wondered if the gemlike "clues" were only some kind of compensation. To make up for her having lost the direct, epileptic Word, the cry that might abolish the night.”

He will show you your path in His own good time. And long as I remember that, I’m fine.”
