We bemoaned the impersonality of the modern world, but that was a lie, it seemed to him; it had never been impersonal at all.

No one delivers fuel to the gas stations or the airports. Cars are stranded. Airplanes cannot fly. Trucks remain at their points of origin. Food never reaches the cities; grocery stores close. Businesses are locked and then looted. No one comes to work at the power plants or the substations, no one removes fallen trees from electrical lines. Jeevan was standing by the window when the lights went out.””

“Revolt is the right of the people””

“No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience.””

“Memory is a double-edged sword, Uthas. It can keep you strong through dark times, but it can also cripple you, keep you locked in a moment that no longer exists.””

“How long have you been holding those words in your head, hoping to use them?””
