“All my life,” she said, “I have been told ‘go’ and ‘come.’ I am told how I will live, and I am told how I must die. I must be a man’s servant and a mare for his pleasure, or I must hide myself behind walls and surrender my flesh to a cold, silent god. I would walk into the jaws of hell itself, if it were a path of my own choosing. I would rather die tomorrow in the forest than live a hundred years of the life appointed me. Please. Please let me help you.”
― Katherine Arden, The Bear and the Nightingale

“There is such a thing as evil in this world,” Elias told her quietly. “It does not help to look away from it. It does not even help, necessarily, to look at it.” His fingers brushed through her hair, and she shivered. “But sometimes, when you cannot force the world to come to its senses, you must settle only for wiping away some of the small evils in front of you.”
― Olivia Atwater, Half a Soul

“Lvov - Ahora me doy cuenta de mi escasa cultura. Hasta para enseñar a mis niños tengo que refrescar frecuentemente mi memoria y aún a veces repasar mis estudios. Porque, para educar a los hijos, no basta procurarles maestros: hay que ponerles también observadores.
Eso sí: quisiera que fuesen mejores que yo. Es todo lo que deseo.
Levin – Lo principal es la educación moral.
Lvov – La educación moral…es imposible imaginar hasta qué punto es difícil eso. Apenas ha salvado usted una parte, se enfrenta con otra y otra vez comienza la lucha. Si no fuera por el apoyo de la religión, ningún padre podría, con sus medios solamente, llevar adelante la educación de sus hijos.”
― Leo Tolstoy
