Quote #4
When I walk back inside, I pass the common room and I find myself looking for a bible. Matthew chapter ten, verse twenty-six. Whatever is now covered up will be uncovered and every secret will be made known. (9.83)
Hannah picked the perfect verse to carve on the prayer tree after Webb's death. On one hand, she did it out of a desire for answers about what happened to him, but it also takes on the meaning of the unveiling of Taylor's past and the questions that will be answered in the future.
Quote #5
Do I remember what Raffaela said in the car park of the Evangelical church?
"Who do you believe in?" she had repeated as if it was the dumbest question she'd ever heard. "I believe in you, Taylor Markham." (12.145-146)
While Raffaela's religious faith is a major element of her character, her faith in her friends is another element of her spirituality. In the heat of her difficulties as a House leader and leader of the Underground Community, Taylor's able to draw strength from the fact that her best friend "believes in her."
Quote #6
It makes me want to yell at the God I wish I didn't believe in. For hogging him all to himself. I want to say, You greedy God. Give him back. I need him here. (18.46)
Along with her lack of desire to relate to people, we can totally understand why Taylor would be angry with a higher power over the death of her father—especially when he died so young and in such a senseless way.
