"....So, anybody gonna say Grace?"
"Admit this is kind of novel, even for you, Amos. But fair's fair, and supper's ready, cooling. Lay it down kind and firm, flatlander."
"Recall the Doctrine Of One Ship: That there is only one ship, and it has countless parts as a single body has countless cells. Thus there is only one Flood, one great ending under the watercourse, and that is made of the tears of grief by the ship's occupants; wept for those who could not be here with us, and deserved not to drown therein our own instead, fallen in the rain that was not theirs."
"Sometimes, the only way to hope is to be that guy, or to bear that being. After that, practicality will have more abstraction that each morning's boot to the head. We'll get there, you know. It's the crossing that's always the worst part, and that's our job, Rocinante."
"If Hope means being that guy, then my family's gonna have all hope I can crank out. Amen-hoo-rah. <Pause.> Start eating before it's any colder, Naomi. Damn; and you say I'm crap with context."
"Even in high heels, Amos?"
"Especially in high heels, Holden. You think wars are won in magsoles? There's a reason the Eternal Battlefield is known as the Glorious Dancefloor: you wear shoes that are comfortable but they always have a little DRM that pisses you off just enough to keep dancing the dance you have to finish. I mean, what did you think you'd otherwise wear that'll do the job?
"Because on a warship, or any other starcraft with warm flesh inside the deadweight hull, the best part of hope is personal gravity. That is our gravity, when we have nothing else."
-Hope is our gravity.-
