Lois Lowry Quote

Jonas wasn’t interested, just then, in wisdom. It was the colors that fascinated him. Why can’t everyone see them? Why did colors disappear? The Giver shrugged. 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 differences. He thought for a moment. We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others.
