“People lived in bodies that were largely unknowable. Some things you could never learn about yourself—some things nobody could learn about you until after you died.”

“Desiree saw patterns that most people couldn't. She could read a person's life off his fingertips. During training, she'd practice reading her own fingertips, those intricate designs that marked her as unique. Stella had a scar on her left index finger from when she'd cut herself with a knife, one of the many ways that their fingerprints were different.
Sometimes, who you were came down to the small things.”

“There could have been fifty pairs of twins sitting at that dinner table, a seat for each person they had been since they's spoken last: a battered wife and a bored one, a waitress and a professor, each woman seated next to a stranger.

He felt, watching Stella primly cut her fish, that he didn't know Desiree at all, that maybe it was impossible to know one without the other.”

“You know what your problem is?" a director had told her once. "You consider yourself your most fascinating subject." She'd always thought everyone felt like a lead character onstage, surrounded by sidekicks and villains and love interests. She still couldn't tell which bit role Jude was playing in her life, but she wasn't even registering in Jude's.”
