“The world is a wheel. When we rise or fall, we do it together.”

“It is when we fall that we are given the opportunity to rise up and reach new heights.”

“We rise up And we fall downOnly to rise again”

“It's not all gone. She loved someone before and so did I. The Society and the Rising and the world are all still out there, pressing against us. But Lei holds them away. She's made enough space for two people to stand up together, whether or not any Society or Rising says that they can. She's done it before. The amazing thing is that she's not afraid to do it again. When we fall in love the first time, we don't know anything. We risk a lot less than we do if we choose to love again.There is something extraordinary about the first time falling.But if feels even better to find myself standing on solid ground, with someone holding on to me, pulling me back, and know that I'm doing the same for her.”

“Governments will rise, and governments will fall, and man will do evil to man, and all we can do is turn our hearts to good.”

“The rain comes down harder, darkness falls. We don't care. Together in our house, in the firelight, we are the world made small.”
