Mary to Maviah regarding Yeshua: "He was always beyond the simple ways of religion and tradition seeking instead a far deeper knowing" pg. 130
Maviah regarding the counsel of Mary: "In that moment her words compelled me even more than my father's, urging me toward my purpose, because she understood my place in the world as a woman and as a mother" pg. 132
"In Yeshua's way, nothing is plain. What He speaks makes little sense to the common man" pg. 216
Maviah's description of Yeshua: "His eyes were brown, but to describe them so misses the point. They did not look at me; they swallowed me. They cherished me. With even one glance from Him, the world seemed to still and shift. How can such a thing be described with mere words?" pg. 228
"I was lost in fear. Fear of not being worthy. Fear of being an outcast. Fear of failing my father and all of the Kalb. Fear of being worthless" pg. 233
Yeshua's advice to Maviah: "Do not allow fear to bind you up Dear One. You will only lose what you already have. Accept what is given now." pg. 233
"He [Yeshua] was speaking of what was seen as weak as leading to fulfillment" pg. 236
"And further, I would gladly allow Yeshua, this Father's son, to judge me, for he would not accuse me before the Father.......To be loved without condition was beyond my comprehension" pg. 239
"...surely every common man and woman suffered, each mastered by their own fear. Who was I then, to waste away in my own predicament?" pg. 317
"Was not Yeshua Himself a storm? A storm of new understanding? A storm that would upend all of the world?" pg. 330
