“And while we’re all trying so hard to be special, we forget that we’re ordinary too. All of us. Ordinary people, just doing our best.”

“is nothing like that. In real life, it’s an age-old punishment used by the most brutal regimes in history to keep even the strongest men and women “in their place”: subjugated and helpless and humiliated and terrified. I’ve been in that place, and I’ve learned that it’s not difficult to break the body, or the mind, or even the spirit. Nobody is stronger than pain. Once you find yourself at the mercy of another’s calculated cruelty, you very quickly lose part of yourself. As soon as the body takes over, you become animal, unthinking, instinctive, desperately trying to escape, and the part of you that was you, the part that held your pride and your heart and your strength, is lost—at least for a while, and sometimes forever.”
