How we cite the quotes:
(Book.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 1
There is not justice in this world. [...] This world has brought one vile abomination after another down on the heads of the gentle, and I'll not live to see the meek inherit anything. (6.2.26)
Here's Leah a couple decades later. Now, she doesn't only believe that the world is unfair, she's believes there's a complete lack of justice in the world. Is she being realistic or pessimistic?
Quote 2
If I could reach backward somehow to give Father just one gift, it would be the simple human relief of knowing you've done wrong, and living through it. (6.2.34)
Talk about a gift that keeps on giving. Nathan is incapable of admitting he's guilty; Leah is incapable of admitting she's not.
Quote 3
We Christians have our own system of marriage, and it is called Monotony. (6.2.10)
This is another one of Rachel's surprisingly accurate malapropisms... especially for her, to whom her endless successions of marriages are just one monotonous, monogamous event after the other.
