Where the Mountain Meets the Moon Quote III
"I have thought a long time about what that word could have been," Ba said, "Was it wisdom or honor? Love or truth? For a long time, I liked to think that the word was kindness."

The End of the Beginning Quote II
"What an inspiring song," said Avon.
"One of the better things about it," Edward pointed out, "is the fact that it can be sung from either end. I sing it from the beginning, and my father sings it from the end."
"Can it be sung from the middle?"
"Absolutely," said Edward. "That's how my mother does it. As you can see, we are a family of individuals."
"Ah, but at least you're all singing the same song," said Avon.
