21 " We should all get a little forgiveness—without it, there can be no kindness. "
― Alex London , Proxy (Proxy, #1)
22 " I believe you, Knox...And I don't care...Got it? I believe you're sorry. I. Don't. Care. I don't want your sorry. Live with your guilt. It's the one debt you owe me and I don't ever, ever want it repaid. "
23 " Some things are more important that any one person. "
24 " I'd burn the world down if it would make you smile "
― Alex London , Guardian (Proxy, #2)
25 " In the end, someone would have to pay for it. Everything costs. "
26 " Nothing mystical about destiny. Destiny is just the inevitable result of choice, from the choices that came before us to the choices we make. They are a river that can only flow in one direction. "
27 " Of course, it made no sense. The goat couldn't object or agree. The goat couldn't forgive. The goat didn't even know what was happening. Only humans could accept responsibility, and only humans could take on a debt. Only humans could stand in for one another...A goat would always be a goat, but humans can change how they define one another and how they define themselves. That was civilization. "
28 " It's not easy to throw your life away, even for a good reason, even when it's the right thing to do. It was simple enough. Debt or no: Syd did not want to die. "
29 " He grinned and then pulled Syd's face to him, pressing their lips together. At first Syd flinched, then he relaxed and let his hands fall to Knox's side. The battle around them vanished, the world that was nd the world to come, all disappeared for one instant as their lips held on to one another. "
30 " It was good to be admired for something. Everyone should feel that way sometimes, he thought. "
31 " Caring costs. "
32 " I’d rather live in a world where I get to love the moon than in one where I don’t, even if the moon won’t return the feeling. "

33 " A life for a life. All debts have to be repaid. "
34 " His proxy turned and thrashed in his sleep, but Knox didn't wake him. His dreams, like everyone Else's, were his own. So were his nightmares. "
35 " Guilt. That might have been the only purely human feeling Knox had left. "
36 " Civilization without humanity was just a graveyard "
37 " It´s your life. Choose "
38 " He just hoped. "
39 " This is bigger than you," said Mr. Baram. "You can bring down this whole system. Erase the data that enslaves so many. Jubilee. Freedom. Forgiveness. Is that not enough? "
40 " Those who were defiant, like Marie, would defy until they dropped dead. The maudlin would weep and the deal makers would bargain and the jokers would joke, but every last one of them would die. "
