The following quotations are important at various points of the story
(Grove Press, New York, 2001 ):
1. Reuben Land, in the name of the living God I am telling you to
breathe. (page 3; This is the first miracle performed by Jeremiah.)
2. We and the world, my children, will always be at war. Retreat
is impossible. Arm yourselves. (page 4; Here Jeremiah prepares his
children for the change the world will bring them now that Davy has committed
murder.) .........
..........19. Is there a single person on whom I can press belief?
No sir. All I can do is say, Here's how it went. Here's what I saw. I've
been there and am going back. Make of it what you will. (page 311;
This is Reuben's final comment to his story.)
