About This Quote

"This is stolen?" We're in a stolen jet?""Not stolen," said Donegan Bane from the co-pilot's seat."Almost stolen," Gracious corrected."Semi-stolen," said Donegan."Quasi-stolen," said Gracious."So is it stolen or not?"Donegan and Gracious hesitated."Yes," they both said together. This quote says that even though something is technically "stolen", it is not really stealing. For example, if I borrowed something like a book, but did not return it on time, then I would be stealing the item. However, if I borrowed somebody's car to go get groceries, but the grocery store did not give me the item I had paid for, then I would be committing theft. There are so many more examples of things that are not really "stolen", but are not really "not stolen".
