• “Creation! What a noise! Clatter and clack, great shuddering moans, groans, creaks, and rattles. The shrieks and whistles of huge leather belts on wheels. And when her brain cleared enough, Lyddie saw through the murky air row upon row of machines, eerily like the old hand loom in Quaker Stevens’s house, but as unlike as a nightmare, for these creatures had come to life” (62)

• “So it was that when the Concord Corporation once again speeded up the machinery, she, almost alone, did not complain” (89).

• “Luke Stevens tied the horse and cow to the back of the wagon and then came around to give Lyddie a hand up, but she pretended not to see. She couldn’t have the man thinking she was a child or a helpless female” (15).

• “Sometimes I’d sell my soul for a moment of quiet, wouldn’t you?” (69
