"Now, who else speaks for Perdido Beach?Bouncing Bette said, "Sam Temple here went into a burning building to rescue a little girl. He can speak for me, anyway.There was a murmur of agreement."Yeah, Sam is a hero for real, a voice said."He could have died, another voice seconded."Yeah, Sam's the guy.Caine's smile came and disappeared so quickly, Sam wasn't sure it had happened. For that millisecond it was a look of triumph. Caine walked straight up to Sam, open and forthright, hand extended."There are probably better people than me, Sam said, backing away."

"A servant leader can always come down to the level of the one he is serving."

"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."

So I don't make this about me."

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.

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."
