“Killing a man should be harder than waving a length of pipe in their direction. It should take long enough for one's conscience to get in the way.”
Hugh Howey, Wool 4: The Unraveling

“There were certain things, learned so young and remembered so deep that they felt like little stones in the center of her mind.”
Hugh Howey, Wool 4: The Unraveling

“My life is too tight, he wanted to say. My skin is too tight. The walls are too tight.”
Hugh Howey, Wool
