Quotes

• "No. I’m admitting to the fact that God doesn’t always save our bodies. Our spirits, yes. But these? These are perishable. They’re meant to be discarded. And in some cases, Andrea, it’s better to die for God than it is to live in the Hell other people make for one another."

• "But God doesn’t give you what you ask for, Andrea. He gives you what you need. And sometimes what you need is to be martyred so that you can hearten the people who bury your corpse. If you don’t particularly want to be a martyr that’s not very encouraging."

• "I’m sorry. I just can’t. I can’t hope, Andrea. And you shouldn’t either. No matter how unusually he’s acting, he’s still Chatcaavan. And we’re still aliens, and non-people, and nothing will ever change that."

• "God is kind. But as He’s your witness, please don’t tell Andrea I said so."
