“What do you think happens" I said instead. "When we die?" Jin didn't believe in gods. He didn't believe in heavens or hells or worlds after. Just in this world. Just in now.
Jin traced my face, like he was trying to remember it. "I think they burn us and we become dust and ash." He ran a finger across the edge of my lips. "And I think that the dust that was me will spend until the end of time trying to get as close as possible the the dust that was you out in that vast desert.”

“First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

“Wait," Arya said Suddenly. "I have something else." She had stuffed it down inside her smallclothes to keep is safe, so she had to dig deep to find it, while the oarsmen laughed and the captain lingered with obvious impatience. "One more sliver will make no difference, child," he finally said
"It's not sliver." Her fingers closed on it. "It's iron. Here." She pressed it into his hand, the small black iron coin that Jaqen H'gar had given her, so worn the man whose head it bore had no features. It's probably worthless, but...
The captain turned it over and blinked at it, then looked at her again. "This... how...?"
Jaqen said to say the words too. Arya crossed her arms against her chest. "Valar morgulis," she said, as loud as if she'd known what it meant.
"Valar dohaeris", he replied, touching his brow with two fingers. "Of course you shall have a cabin.”
