Kindle Notes & Highlights
Who needs a virus like the Collapse to exterminate the population when there's fundamental human nature and the desire for power?
"Look, we all make choices we regret. But the reality? Each of us only have one chance in our lives, then the moment is gone. We must live with that choice and whatever the consequences may be.
"Love means everything to you, Ben. It's what allowed you to survive. It's what brought you back to me. You never lost hope of us finding each other. Your love saved me. It gave me a reason to fight and a reason to look beyond myself.
"Avlyn, this ability was never what made you special. Your willingness to give up everything for the people you loved, the people you knew deserved better, that made you special.
Then I tell them the story of how it wasn't Intelligence Potential or extraordinary abilities that changed the world. In the end, it was love that had saved us all.
Because love is a gift. And, just like life," I say, softly, "it can be both broken and beautiful. I try every day to make life as beautiful as possible, like you asked me to."
