“Look after the things you love or else you don’t deserve to love anything,”
― The Explorer

“They went in a new direction, north-west, down a steep incline. Every time their branches burned down to their hands, they pulled new ones from the trees and lit them. Twice, Fred lost his footing and slid until he came up against a tree. Max tripped, ate a mouthful of mud, and they had to pause until his screaming died down enough for him to walk on. Lila tried to comfort him. The explorer turned away and studied a dung beetle with angry intensity.”

“Shivering slightly, we all moved together to form a close circle and hug one another tight.
The four of us were the only family we had left. Tommy, who’d been living on boats longer than any of us, started mumbling an old sailor’s prayer: “Though Death waits off the bow, we’ll not answer to him now.”
I hoped he was right.
But I had a funny feeling that Death might not take no for an answer.”

“There's a lot writing about love at first sight. And what is love at first sight but recognition? It's instant knowledge: that this is a person who will make your heart larger - a lover, a child. The same applies to places.”

“Actually’, said Tommy, who'd made a surprise appearance in the hallway outside Storm and Beck's cabin door, ‘as you know better than any-body, Storm, because you totally memorized the whole nautical-terminology entry on Wikipedia, ballast is something placed on a vessel to, um... what was it again?’
Storm couldn't help but fill in the blank for Tommy: ‘Provide desired stability.’
‘Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Ballast on, like, a balloon, can, um..’
Storm smiled a little. ‘Control the center of gravity.’
‘Exactly,’ said Tommy. ‘You're our rock, Storm.
In a good way. Not like, you know, gravel. Or a rock in your shoe.”
