Vonda N. McIntyre quotes
It's impossible to protect anyone completely without enslaving them. I think that's something you've never understood because you've always demanded too much of yourself. You blame yourself for your sister's death-”
"I didn't watch her carefully enough.”
"What could you have done? Remember her life, not her death. She was brave and happy and arrogant, the way a child should be. You could only protect her more by chaining her to you with fear. She couldn't live that way, not and remain the person you loved.
Vonda N. McIntyre
The intensity of Melissa's loyalty troubled Snake. She had never known anyone who was so completely oblivious to self-interest. Perhaps Melissa could not yet think of herself as someone with a right to her own dreams; perhaps so many of her dreams had been taken from her that she no longer dared to have them.
