Lois Lowry Quote
He might make wrong choices. Oh. Jonas was silent for a minute. Oh, I see what you mean. It wouldn’t matter for a newchild’s toy. But later it does matter, doesn’t it? We don’t dare to let people make choices of their own. Not safe? The Giver suggested. Definitely not safe, Jonas said with certainty. What if they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong? Or what if, he went on, almost laughing at the absurdity, they chose their own jobs? Frightening, isn’t it? The Giver said. Jonas chuckled. Very frightening. I can’t even imagine it. We really have to protect people from wrong choices. It’s safer.
