Quotes from Scott Westerfeld, Goliath

Alek said, "Do you think I'm being a fool?" "I think you're trying to do something good. But doing good is rarely easy, and no weapon has ever stopped a war.

No matter how far from the war we run, it always catches up with us.

Surely no one would ever use such a weapon against a city.""There are no limits in war, " Volger said, still staring out the window.

What if destiny doesn't care?
