Quotes by Jana Petken  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“strip a city of its leaders, journalists, and cultural examples and you will control an ignorant and vulnerable population. Do you understand now?”
Jana Petken, The Vogels: On All Fronts

“I know some in the family disagree with my views, but my views are who I am, what I am. You have never told me to change them; you are not guilty of that crime. I, on the other hand, am at fault for shutting you out of my life because I did not accept that you too have your views, which make you different from me, but nonetheless still family, still loved.”
Jana Petken, The Guardian of Secrets

“Mankind’s biggest failure is its inability to learn from the mistakes of the past, and its silence in the face of atrocities committed against those without a voice.”
Jana Petken, The German Half-Bloods
