1 " I don't want to be kept safe! I don't want to have someone constantly trying to keep me from tripping on my own incompetence. I want to live in a world where I know the rules, where people are just people. Not one where they keep trying to eat me. That's the reason I left the city in the first place. I don't want to be kept, not by anyone. "

5 " I’d spent my life until now as a cog in one person’s machine – could I turn around and become the instrument of another. "
6 " The air’s movement was fitful and gusty, inconsistent at best and startling. There was a strange wildness to its smell. I walked through the whispering, knee-high grass in the clearing, listening to the wind sigh and scream through the trees and the rubble. It robbed me of breath, stole my soul. Wind. "
7 " We left the field of metallic corpses behind and walked across the valley beneath the vast and terrible beauty of the dawn. "
