“It didn't make much sense to me then, what Gnut was going through, but after Pila and me had our little twins, and we put a family together, I got an understanding of how terrible love can be. You wish you hated those people, your wife and children, because you know the things the world will do to them, because you have done some of those things yourself. It's crazy-making, yet you cling to them with everything and close your eyes against the rest of it. But still you wake up late at night and lie there listening for the creak and splash of oars, the clank of steel, the sounds of men rowing toward your home.”
― Wells Tower, Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned

“So what are you doing, any looting?"
"Why? You got anything to loot?"
"Me? Oh, no. Got a decent cookstove, but I can't see you toting that back on the ship."
"Don't suppose you've got a coin hoard or anything buried out back?"
"Jeezum crow, I wish I did have. Coin hoard, I'd really turn things around for myself.”

“I was just kind of tripping out on what getting shot is all about. How it's just you getting touched by a little thing, only it's touching you really fast.”
