1 " He gave himself to them completely, with no guilt, no shame, no reservation, and in that surrender he found a quiet, shining pearl he had never known existed - himself. He was Sam. He was Sunshine. He was Peaches. "
― Heidi Cullinan , Special Delivery (Special Delivery, #1)
2 " Surrendering is intentionally laying down the power I possess. And have I considered that the power I lay down is often more powerful than that which I’m laying it down in front of? Therefore, I would be wise to recognize that surrender is less the absence of power and more the presence of fear. "
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
3 " When something drops into your life that seems to threaten your future, remember this: the first shockwaves of the bomb are not sin. The real danger is yielding to them. Giving in. Putting up no spiritual fight. And the root of that surrender is unbelief - a failure to fight for faith in future grace. A failure to cherish all that God promises to be for us in Jesus. "
― John Piper , Future Grace
4 " You know, without a doubt, that surrender is the only option to fulfill whatever you are attempting. "

5 " What is going to happen to the Aurorans?" " They are prisoners of war," Albion said. " I should imagine they will be set to work at the base of the Spire." Grimm tightened his jaw. " No, sir." " No?" " No, sir," Grimm said. " I've seen that place. You might as well tie a noose around their necks and stand them on blocks of ice, if you want them to die a slow death. It will be cleaner." " I'm not sure why this concerns you, Captain," Albion said." Because they surrendered to me," Grimm said. " They gave me their parole, sir. They could have fought on with no real chance of victory, and it would have been bloody. But that surrender saved blood and lives of Albions and Aurorans alike. I will not see Captain Castillo repaid with such churlish treatment. "
