“You will forget whoever it was that said never trust a thought that doesn't come while walking. But clutch at it. Apartments can shrink inward like drying ponds. You will gasp. Say: I am going for a walk. When he follows you to the door, buzzing at your side like a fly by a bleeding woman, add: alone. He will look surprised and hurt and you will hate him.”

“When next this happens (and it will happen, again and again, because a people remain under occupation and because the relative compelling powers of both revenge and consequence warp beyond recognition once one has been made to bury their child), this same framing can always be used. The barbarians instigate and the civilized are forced to respond. The starting point of history can always be shifted, such that one side is always instigating, the other always justified in response. (p. 24)”

“From the moment that those running footsteps had come clamoring towards her, Lexa for the first time this summer was wide awake. The last warning of the peril in which she and Moritz stood had thundered its way into her consciousness with that sudden impetuous knocking. It had shaken her out of the quiet, doped state where actions and thoughts had been largely instinctive, were all reactions were mercifully numbed. (p. 316-317)”

“Too much and too sudden power makes men lose all sense of proportion; blood turns such men into madmen.”

“One day this will end. In liberation, in peace, or in eradication at a scale so overwhelming it resets history. It’ll end when sanctions pule up high enough, or the political cost of occupation and apartheid proves debilitating. When finally there is no other means of preserving self-interest but to act, the powerful will act. The same people who did the killing and financed the killing and justified the killing and turned away from the killing will congratulate themselves on doing the right thing. It is very important to do the right thing, eventually. (p. 182)”
