5. Most Important Line

In Reached by Ally Condie that I'm reading right now, the most important quote was, "You cannot change your journey if you are unwilling to move at all."
This quote was significant because even though it was an idea from Cassia (main character), it applies to all characters in the book and us as readers also.  It relates to Cassia because she is struggling with stolen poems that she needed in order to 'trade her way' to Ky, and Ky cannot even reach Cassia if he doesn't carry out his duties with the Rising first.  Xander, lastly, needs to continue mending his broken love with Cassia, because if he doesn't act swiftly she will already be gone and content in her love with Ky.
Most importantly, this quote relates to the readers and their lives I think because if we don't work, we can't change our futures, and in everyone's own special way they can relate that idea back to something they dream of for their life.  This lesson gives the author a way to connect with the reader of the story, and gives Condie more credibility because she understands this concept.  We want her to understand.
