Quote

I'm sorry I'm young, Deborah answered with a bitterness that was half prose. We have a right to be as crazy as anyone else. The second part was more a plea, and to her surprise the superbly inhuman fighter smiled softly and said, Yes ... I suppose that's true, though I never thought of it in those terms before.
