“June smiled. "So what will it be? Safety, or a future of pain and possibility?”
“How is it possible to exist with so much pain?”
“What we have to discover is that there is no safety, that seeking is painful, and that when we imagine that we have found it, we don’t like it.”
“The smile was so painfully swift and fleeting that it was like the flash of a knife.”
“There is no safety for honest men except by believing all possible evil of evil men.”
“Life is not so simple. There are many futures. The life of a single person is like a great tree: every branch, every twig, every leaf is a possible future.”
