In that moment I found a power beyond any I'd had before, a will and a determination I would never have need if not for Lucinda, a fortitude I hadn't been able to find for a lesser cause.

Gail Carson Levine
About This Quote

Lucinda created a force inside of herself that was stronger than the sum of all her parts. This force has become what she is now. She's not just the sum of all her parts, but also the power of her will and determination. The will to be strong, to act on that strength, and act with passion.

If anything, she has found that this power goes beyond her own self. She has found that it can connect to others by creating a force inside them as well.
