Quote #4
"I think you are like your mama, and like your papa, and like me. Frightened, but determined, and if the time came to be brave, I am quite sure you would be very, very brave.
"But," he [Henrik] added, "it is much easier to be brave if you do not know everything. And so your mama does not know everything. Neither do I. We know only what we need to know." (9.15-16)
Do you agree? Is it better only to know what you need to know? Is this a classic case of TMI?
Quote #5
O praise the Lord.
How good it is to sing psalms to our God!
How pleasant to praise him!
The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem;
he gathers in the scattered sons of Israel.
It is he who heals the broken in spirit
and binds up their wounds,
he who numbers the stars one by one. (10.34)

Quote #6
It was one more time, Annemarie realized, when they protected one another by not telling. If Mr. Rosen knew, he might be frightened. If Mr. Rosen knew, he might be in danger.
So he hadn't asked. And Peter hadn't explained. (11.24-25)
If Mr. Rosen knew what was in the package, he'd probably be way more freaked out. And he totally gets that. This isn't cowardice, it's just practical.
