[quotes] emma clayton
But there was no point complaining about how horrible their lives were, because nothing could be done. No one was going to wave a magic wand and make the world beautiful again. Nobody could bring back the forests and the fields that had been destroyed because of The Animal Plague, and as time went on, they got used to living behind The Wall in a concrete nightmare. And in some ways life was better; if they had an argument there was nowhere to go (unless you fancied standing in a gloomy hallway), so people made more of an effort to be nice to each other.
[Roar, Emma Clayton]
