Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

"The chance that you will become a master in something after the first attempt is neither here nor there. You don't get master's degree by attending school on the first day! Time will tell, so you got to persist!"

"God knew our lives would be really bad sometimes. Like maybe we'd be turned into a monster and then our best friend would get killed. So he made up this story about hell, so we could always say, 'Well it could be worse. It could be hell.' And then we'd keep going."

Of starvation and accident, suicide and murder.It was a fatality rate of just over 40 percent."

So I don't make this about me."

"I'm getting my stuff, he said, and bolted for the steps."You don't have to move out, Astrid called after him.Sam stopped halfway up the steps. "Oh, I'm sorry. Is that the voice of the council telling me where I can go?"There's no point having a town council if you think you don't have to listen to it, Astrid said. She was using her patient voice, trying to calm the situation. "Sam, if you ignore us, no one will pay attention."Guess what, Astrid, they're already ignoring you. The only reason anyone pays any attention to you and the others is because they're scared of Edilio's soldiers. He thumped his chest. "And even more scared of me."
