Quote 1 (Page 267):
"Lloyd brought his fist down on the arm of the chair. 'A life is a life!' he said. His eyes were bloodshot, and he could barely choke out the words. 'It is God's gift! How can you be so careless?'"
Quote 2 (Page 219):
"'I don't know,' he said slowly. 'There was a time I laid down my life for my government and was glad to do so.' He took off his cap and raked his fingers over his head, combing back the loose hair from his face. He looked exhausted, and even though most farmers looked tired at this time of year, it struck Elliot that there was something else, as if his worn face were at war with his basic good nature. Even his ponytail looked dispirited."
Quote 3:
“When she had him along, the world looked different, and she liked the way she saw things she'd never seen before. . . But she noticed other things, too -- the way she herself felt acutely visible with the baby in her arms, and the way some people's faces lit up when they saw a child. His warm weight was like living ballast, thrumming with energy, giving her substance. Folks were drawn to that.”
