"It doesn't work, she continues, unclasping her hands, smoothing her skirt. "What you're feeling right now doesn't work. You can't wander around and think the wandering will call them back. Believe me. I know you don't want to hear the long view, but let me tell you. You are so young. I know it's none of my business. But still."

"Me, I've seen 45 years, and I've only figured out one thing. That's this: if a person would just make the effort, there's something to be learned from everything.

"She'd been attacked. Just after she came to the Belt. She was seeing that it didn't happen twice.''Attacked,' Miller said, parsing the man's tone of voice. 'Raped?''I didn't ask."
Justice
"It's herding kittens. If kittens had a lot of guns and an overdose of neo-Libertarian property theory."
Humor
"Drainage tubes ran out of his belly and side, and there was a catheter the size of a pencil coming out his penis. Nothing particularly hurt, so he had to assume he was on pretty nearly all the narcotics there were."
Recovery
"Partners, she said, and fired two rounds into his head."
Conflict
"You want a shadow, you got to have light and something to get in its way."
