View Quote [to Lucius] I know why you denied my sister. When I was younger, you used to hold my arm when I walked. Then suddenly you stopped. One day, I even tripped in your presence and nearly fell. I was faking, of course, but still you did not hold me. Sometimes we don't do things we want to do so that others will not know we want to do them.
View Quote The world moves for love; it kneels before it in awe.
View Quote Edward Walker: It is all that I can give you... It is all that I can give you.
Alice Hunt: I accept.
View Quote Lucius Hunt: I am not the one with secrets.
Alice Hunt: What is your meaning?
Lucius Hunt: There are secrets in every corner of this village. Do you not feel it? Do you not see it?
View Quote Ivy Walker: How is it that you are so brave while the rest of us shake in our boots?
Lucius Hunt: I don't think of what might happen, only what must be done.
View Quote EDWARD: There did exist rumors of creatures in these woods. It is one of the history books I used to teach in the towns.
IVY: The screams? From the woods?
EDWARD: We created those sounds.
IVY: The Ceremony of Meat?
EDWARD: We remove it ourselves. An elder is always assigned.
IVY: The drills... they are farce, too?
EDWARD: We did not want anyone to go to the towns, Ivy.
IVY: What about the animals.... the skinned ones? Are the elders responsible for that, too?
EDWARD: I BELIEVE ONE of the elders is responsible. It will not happen again. There is no one in this village who has not lost someone irreplaceable, who has nt felt loss so deeply that they questioned the very merit of living at all. It is a darkness I wished... you would never know. Forgive us our silly lies, Ivy. They were not meant to harm.
IVY: I am... sad for you, Papa. For all the elders.
EDWARD: On this paper has been written a tool of medicine. It is common in the towns. You will go... with two escorts. Follow the sounds of a stream. A half-day's journey will bring you to a hidden road. At this hidden road, the two escorts will wait as you continue. You alone will follow the road... and leave Covington Woods. You are to tell no one in the towns where we are... and return with haste. I cannot come with you. You gave your heart to this boy. He is in need. Are you ready to take this burden, which by right, is yours and yours alone?
View Quote There are different types of love.
View Quote [reading a letter to the elders] My mother is unaware of reasons of my visit today. She did not give her consent or consult me in any form. The passing of little Daniel Nicholson, from illness, and other events have weighed on my thoughts. I ask permission to cross into the forbidden woods and travel to the nearest town. I will gather new medicines, and I will return. With regards to those we don't speak of, I am certain they will let me pass. Creatures can sense emotion and fear. They will see I am pure of intention and not afraid. The end.
View Quote Papa, I cannot see his color.
View Quote If he dies, all that is left of me will die with him.
View Quote [singing to her sister Kitty] Baby sleep, gently sleep / Life is long and love is deep. / Time will be sweet for thee / All the world to see. / Time to look around and know / How the shadows come and go, / How the breeze stirs the tree, / How the blossoms grow.
View Quote I'm not going to tell you what your color is, so stop asking.
View Quote We'll be safe, we have the magic rocks.
View Quote My sister has found love... again.
View Quote I'm back, Lucius.
