Quote #4
"Suffice it to say that the whole world slides into evil, and many are helping the slide."
"And others resist it," said Sabriel. "Like my father. Like me." (9.29-30)
Sabriel's statement here is a nice summary of the status quo: evil's overtaking the world, but Sabriel and her father are fighting it. Good guys, reporting for duty.
Quote #5
Sabriel swallowed, closed her eyes, fumbled with the collar and prayed she was doing the right thing. "Father, forgive me," she thought, but it was not just to her father she spoke, but to all the Abhorsens who had come before her—especially the one who had made the collar so long ago. (11.58)
Sabriel struggles to do the right thing and make good decisions, knowing that evil forces are constantly trying to sabotage her. Sometimes it's not easy to know if her decisions are the right ones.
Quote #6
"He came within arm's length of me, and I could only look into his face, look at the evil that lay so close behind those familiar features…" (18.60)
