“What would happen when there was no one there to tell me I had to go on when I didn’t have it in me?”
“Some things are fixed, others are changeable. You can’t change what’s fixed or fix what’s changeable. That’s what my mother always said.”
“Sikander was right—they were just stories, and stories couldn’t save people. Maybe those stories did more harm than good by giving us false hope. All they did was reinforce our faith that the world was once made up almost entirely of magic or miracles. But where was that magic now, when we needed it?”
