“When you must flee and can carry only one thing, what will it be? What single seed from your old life will be the most useful in helping you sow a new one?”

“But if there's one thing I learned from my mother, it's that losing everything is not the end of the story. She taught me that lost civilizations can be rebuilt from zero, even if the task will require many generations of work.”
