Quote #10

Her Grace was not killing. Her Grace was survival. (21.97)

Hurrah—we're so glad when Katsa makes this realization… and so glad it didn't take her until the end of the book. That would have been a lot of wallowing. As it is, she wallows just enough. And we love that when she laments that she's probably hurt more people with her Grace than she's saved, Po doesn't try to dispute her. Instead he tells her she has the rest of her life "to tip the balance," which reminds us of something George Eliot said: "It's never too late to be who you might have been."
