The Giver quotes

When people have the freedom to choose, they choose wrong - every single time.

Chief Elder

Memories are not just about the past. They determine our future. You can change things. You can make things better.

The Giver

Jonas : I wish I had been there when the memories returned. They were the truth. The Elders and their rules were the lie, so I do NOT apologize. I knew Fiona was safe, that I'd see her again, and that I held the future there in my arms.
Jonas : The Giver had led us here, to this house. It was real. From far behind me, from the place I had left, I thought I heard music, too. Perhaps it was only an echo, but it was enough. It would lead us all home.

Jonas
