“We sing about it. We paint it. We make crutches and soups and have gardens and weddings and babies. This is a place out of time. A window into the past and the future world. We are heralds, you see, my dear, saying what will surely come. And we prepare with all our might, to be ready when once again we are free.”

One of the worst things about this world is that we so often don’t even know which terrible thing to hope for.

“Now’s not the time for blame,” Helmer said. “It’s time to act.”
