“Uniformity is not unity. Silence is not peace.”

“Why does everyone hate change so much?" I demanded."Because things could get worse.""Maybe. But do you know what I think?"My chest throbbed. "I think deep down, we're afraid that things could get better. Afraid to ding out that all the evil—all the suffering we ignore—could have been prevented. If only we had cared enough to try.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
“Only one thing is more powerful than a wish, and that is a purpose.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
“No, we don't deserve the burdens that our parents gave us, but we cant defeat monsters we won't face.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
“Stories are meant to be shared," Melu said gently, "but no one was made for another person, Tarisai.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
“I hope you never win the pride of a monster, Tarisai. It’s worse than their contempt.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
“You don’t get to choose why people love you. But what you do with the love you receive . . . that’s a choice you make every day.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Redemptor
“But I knew, deep down, that love had never fixed anyone. It had only given them the strength to try over and over and over again.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
“Do not ask how many people you will save. Ask, Towhat world will you save them? [...] What world, Wuraola, is worth surviving in?” ― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
“Do not confuse guilt with conviction. Guilt is self-centered, and leads only to destructive obsession. But conviction brings balance—a sense of purpose beyond oneself.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Redemptor
“I've never understood why mortals make things so complicated. Am's story for men and women has always been simple: You are equals, built to work side by side. But when it comes to power, mortals have always loathed simplicity.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
“Do not ask how many people you will save,” I murmured: “Ask, to what world will you save them? What makes a world worth surviving in?” ― Jordan Ifueko, Redemptor
“It's no use bringing up the past. You write your story, not the people who came before you.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
“B-But . . . what good is a v-voice with no st-story to tell?” ― Jordan Ifueko, Redemptor
“I want to live," I said, replacing Ye Eun's lily behind my ear, "because life is . . . life is worth it. Because as long as we can imagine a better world, we should stick around to see it. Even if it doesn't exist yet. Even if we have to build it from scratch, brick by muddy brick.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Redemptor
“I need help," I said.The words echoed in my ears. I blinked, stunned at how natural they sounded. Why hadn't I said them before?” ― Jordan Ifueko, Redemptor
“Leadership isn't good or evil, it's what you choose to do with it.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
“Through you, my legacy lives.""You didn't make me who I am. I am not the sequel of your story.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
“And off she goes,” Sanjeet murmured. His voice was cavernous, even against the roar of the waves. “Bent on winning freedom for the entire world. Tarisai of Swana.” He laughed, a gentle growl that made my insides restless. “She would have us be masters of our own fates, whether we like it or not.” ― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer
