I'd rather do something than read about it.""That's fine, but if you do it, and then can't think what it means, it's never much of a memory. Life has more to so with memories of the past and longings for the future than it ever does with *right now*."-pg 138-9

What a storyteller does is *see* more than most of us. We say he's making up his stories, but he__r better yet, *she*__atches more carefully, and then tells us what we would have seen ourselves if we'd just stopped to look."-Leah said__o Nadine, although she was looking at Marjorie (pg 138)

It struck Yuki as almost comic that humans drew lines on the globe, and on both sides of those lines raised up armies. Then they fought and died to take possession of...what? Hills. Yuki knew he had to fight, and had to win, but that didn't make war anything to be proud of.

War is the greatest evil Satan has invented to corrupt our hearts and souls. We should honor our soldiers, but we should never honor war.
