Infinity: Chronicles of Nick Chapter 11 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 1
Caleb would accuse [Adarian] of loving the boy, but he knew better. This wasn't about love. It was about power. (11.29)
Nick's father isn't capable of love. Caleb makes an interesting observation that love and power are basically mutually exclusive. Some people will sacrifice their loved ones for power, which means they didn't love them that much to begin with.
Quote 2
That was the one order Caleb couldn't understand. Again, he would attribute it to love, but there was no way the Malachai could love anything except himself and his quest for power. (11.39)
Adarian wanting to protect Nick's mother is suspicious. Maybe he does actually love her, in his own twisted way, because there doesn't seem to be a practical reason to keep her alive. At least that we know of. Or maybe it's just about power, as usual.
Quote 3
But he had no choice. When he was summoned, he had to obey. Those were the rules and any hesitation would only end badly for him. (11.5)
Caleb is also a victim of fate. He is being controlled by Nick's father. One of the only ways he can rebel against his harsh master is to try and change Nick's fate. So it turns out he has some free will, after all, right?
