Quote #10

"An army of lovers cannot lose." (17.75)

This is one of the most famous lines in the book; it's a song they sing while they're fighting in the future (or in an alternate future.) It was picked up by some gay rights activists. It expresses the hope/belief/dream that love will triumph over all, and that society can be remade by love. Even if it's not clear, in this book, that it does.
