"When I was five years old, Cricket Bell built an elevator. It was a marvelous invention made from white string and Tonka truck wheels and a child-size shoe box, and because of it, my Barbies traveled from the first floor of their dollhouse to the second without ever having to walk on their abnormally slanted feet."

"Gravel crunched underfoot as I strode across the driveway of the building site late Monday morning. To my rear loomed the apartment complex nearing exterior completion - the latest project of my family's property development business. At the portacabin, I gave a quick glance behind myself. Once assured nobody trailed me, I tugged down the handle of the door."

"Once I'm sure the others sleep, their breathing heavy in the room, I roll over onto my side and slip the page from my pocket.

The paper feels pulpy and cheap, not like the thick cream-colored sheet with Grandfather's  poems. It's old, but not as old as Grandfather's paper. My father might be able to tell me the age; but he;s not here, he let me go. As I unfold the page carefully it makes small sounds that seem loud, and I hope the other girls with think it is the rustling of blankets or an insect singing its wings."

- Crossed by Ally Condie, p.53
(From ARC copy, so pages, the cover and quotes could change.)

"Jonah Griggs.

Not just a name but a state of mind I never want to revisit, although I do keep him at the back of my mind for those times I get my hopes raised about something. So then I can slap myself into reality and remind myself of what happens when you let someone into your sacred space. Jonah Griggs is the second reminder to never ever trust another human being."
