“We used to think that hunger was our greatest enemy...[a]nd yet, though hunger can still be dreadful, it helped forge our family. We would have never become a *We* if We did not unite over a shared need....Our capacity to feel and endure hunger and lacking and pain reveals We are human.”
― Kyra Ann Dawkins, The We and the They: A Dystopian Oral History

“The soulless ones are not our greatest enemies. They were as deceived as We were. Our ultimate enemy is greed. For greed hardens hearts and minds and renders other people as less than human, as merely flesh.”
― Kyra Ann Dawkins, The We and the They: A Dystopian Oral History

“[I]t is okay to be sad and feel pain. Better to feel pain than to inflict it on others.”
― Kyra Ann Dawkins, The We and the They: A Dystopian Oral History

“Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst, and unsurprised by anything in between.”
