Our people made that choice, the choice to go to Sameness. Before my time, before the previous time, back and back and back. We relinquished color when we relinquished sunshine and did away with difference. We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others.
Lois LowryThe community of the Giver had achieved at such great price. A community without danger or pain. But also, a community without music, color or art. And books.
Lois Lowry
