Who could determine what counted as theft when museums and countries and civilizations saw the spoils of conquest as rightfully earned?
“But as soon as Cye walked away, everything fell out of Esther's mind save for the repetitive movement of the braiding and the question Cye had left her with. Not the question Cye had asked— do you believe everything you read?—but the question they hadn't asked: why do you believe everything you read?”

“She didn't relish being called "sweetheart," but something deep in her chimed at the word: this was a man who would let her go, if she was nice and pliant and didn't cause trouble. This was a man who wanted her to be the kind of woman who liked to hear "sweetheart," and that was a role she knew how to play.”

“Good," Esther said back, echoing Cye's words automatically because she didn't know what else to say, because you have a freckle on your bottom lip seemed like the wrong thing to say but it was the only thing she could think.”

“It was a truth that didn't feel anything like safety.
It felt better than safety.
It felt like gunpowder at her back, driving her toward a fight that needed winning.
Keep fighting. It will be hard, and it will be awful, and it will be worth it. Don't give up, even when it feels like dying. Don't give up.
This is only the beginning.”

“She let her hand linger on his shoulder for a moment as she dismounted, and she hated herself for it, for all of it. For charming him. She hated herself, because she didn't rightly know why she was bothering to do it— she didn't need anything from him other than safe and free passage in and out of Endurance. But she did it anyway, more of a compulsion than a reflex. Her speech drifted to the familiar, the ungrammatical, the helpless. She caught herself tucking her chin down, trying to make herself look just a little shy.”
