“I owe your mother much more than money. I’m not trying to stop you from stealing from me, I’m trying to help you to stop stealing . . . from all stores, from your family, from yourself.”

“I’ve earned the right to steal a little makeup. Scientists have confirmed that humanity is highly suggestible. If I intend to escape the jaws of consumerism, I have some hard choices ahead. I won’t say that the Devil is behind this, but Gretchen goes to Catholic school, she says the Devil can show up anywhere, and we wouldn’t even recognize him. Last week Gretchen told me, watch carefully to see how one thing connects to another.”

“While she slept that night, I stole something from her suitcase, which was just the same twined-up shepi bag she'd brought from the island. I took the book. I told myself it wasn't stealing if the thing had already been stolen once. Two acts of thievery canceled out, became something more like salvaging. I still have it, that book. You should read it to me sometime, skipping all the words you think I don' know. I won' t know them, but I'll pretend to, shame you for thinking me stupid, and then you'll be so sorry you'll read the whole book to me all over again, redacting nothing.”

“She swings her young son up in her arms, and turns back toward her house, and the moment she is out of sight, Adeline gathers her dress, still damp at the hem, and pulls it on.
Isabelle will, of course, forget again.
She'll get halfway to her house before she slows and wonder why she stared back without her clothes. She'll blame her tired mind, addled from three children, the infant's distemper, and return to the river. And this time, there will be no woman sitting on the banks, no dress spread in the sun, only a stick, abandoned in the grass, a canvas of silt laid smooth.”

“Did you not hear me? The money is meaningless. The well's true treasure is in the desires, dreams, and wishes poured into those coins. That's what you stole.”

“Whatcha do to him?" asked Wat, striding over to his master, shaking him. When there was no response, he turned to her and snarled. "If I find out you've done anything..."
"You'll do what? Tell me," said Rosamund, smiling sweetly. "Complain I didn't press charges after you stole those candlesticks from your master, or the silver urn?"
"I didn't steal them from my master---he was dead."
"Oh, I wasn't referring to Sir Everard---" Rosamund gave a pointed look at Aubrey. "According to your new master, this is his house. His property. And that includes everything within its walls."
Understanding he'd just admitted to the crime, Wat ceased to challenge her and, with a groan, heaved Aubrey up under the arms and managed to throw him across his shoulders.
"I think your master needs a good rest," said Rosamund, following him from the room.
Flashing her a look of pure resentment, Wat knew better than to argue this time. The young woman he'd left to fend for herself was not the same one he faced now.”

“Of course clergymen and other paid teachers and moralists admonished us to be upright and unselfish, and for people with good incomes it was easy to condemn those living on the edge of poverty as inferior, impractical, shiftless, and lacking respect for the social code. It was easy to shout thief at the other fellow when you had no temptation to steal-I mean steal in a petty way. But stealing in a big way was often accepted as good business judgment.”

“It breaks my heart to see the enemy stealing from you, killing you from the inside out, and destroying your life (John 10:10). You think you’ve been in control this whole time, but you’ve been letting darkness rule your life. It doesn’t have to be this way. There is something better. Jesus isn’t some cosmic killjoy; He is the only one who knows why you’re here and what you were made for. He alone can lead you into true and lasting joy. As He said, ‘I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be completeâ€� (John 15:11). Just stop trying to play God and let Him call the shots for once.”

“He was starting to change his mind about the old warrior code stuff knights and princes used. Usually when they were drunk and in need of spilling their words, and trying to justify their core behavior. Behave honorably and wish for a good death. He'd always dismissed it as self-serving bullshit frankly. Most of the people he'd been told were his betters were quite vainly dishonorable. Greedy bastards wanted more the more they got. While those that weren't like that were better behaved partly because they could afford to be. Was it more honorable to starve than to steal? People would say yes. Though rarely those who actually experienced an empty belly or a child whimpering with its own hunger. Was it more honorable to starve than to steal when others had the means to feed you but chose not to? Unless, you paid with money you did not have. He thought not. If you chose to starve you became your own oppressor, keeping yourself in line, harming yourself for the temerity of being poor. When by rights that aught to be a constables job. Show any initiative or imagination, then you were called lazy, shifty, crafty, or incorrigible. So he dismissed talk of honor. It was just a way of making the rich and powerful feel better about themselves, and the powerless and poverty-stricken feel worse. But once you weren't living hand to mouth and had some ease, you had the pleasure of contemplating what life was really about and who you really were, and given that you had to die, it made sense to seek a good death. Even these Culture people, bafflingly, chose to die even when they didn't have to. With freedom from fear and wondering where your next meal was coming from or wondering how many mouths you'd have to feed next year, and whether you'd get sacked by your employer, or thrown into jail for some minor indiscretion. With freedom from that you had the choice of living a nice, calm, peaceful, ordinary life and die with your nightshirt on and impatient relatives making lots of noise around you. Or, you could end up doing something like this, however scared your body might feel, your brain could appreciate the experience... Given that you had to die, why want a bad one?”
