“The greatest threat to her and her people were those who wielded their beliefs like weapons. Who sought to eradicate those whose beliefs were different from theirs–beliefs that threatened their supremacy.”

“What are humans without stories, Malka? Do you think it won't take stories to shift the tide of war, to build nations up from the ground? Behind every tyrant is a story that justifies their means; behind every brutalized culture are stories that string generations together like emerald beads. Their stories will have meanings, and we will not forget them.”

“Ah, but that's the thing about the Yahad and hope. We have always had to have it. I think we are more used to hanging on to it than many are led to believe. To be a Yahad and practice our religion is inherently hopeful, that one day, our people will be free.”

“For the first time in my life, I found mirrors for myself. Daphne, and now him. It's bizarre to witness these parts of myself - whatever they are, for if they have names, I don't know them - separated. I tied them together in my mind, as if my inability to grasp the intricacies of other people means I failed to also grasp the meeting of my sex at a basic level; as if one thing caused the other. Headmaster seems to think they're one and the same. Mother and Father do too. To see them divided disproves that.”
