“I wonder why we always feel disdain for our old selves...We should feel thankful. We should appreciate the people we used to be rather than being ashamed of them.”
― Anne Frasier, The Body Reader

“Trust and stupidity are close friends. Of course, no one really knows that until it’s too late.”
― Gregg Olsen, Lying Next to Me

“Hell. Six other pilots available and I had to be the one to get you,” Jonah mutters to himself.
… “ ‘Don't worry, Calla.' 'It's no big deal, Calla.' That's what a decent person would say,” I mumble.
“I'm here to get your high-maintenance little ass to Bangor, not soothe your ego.”

“I wonder how much of a person is simply fabricated by others,” she said. “And think about this: None of us see the same person in the exact same way. We bring ourselves into the equation. So an individual is never really an individual.” “This might be a little too deep for a hangover. Are you saying we’re not only a product of our environment; we’re also informed by accurate and inaccurate observations by others? That makes my head hurt even more.” “One thing I know, before my capture I saw myself through everybody else’s eyes, if that makes any sense. Every single person I engaged with throughout the day. I read their reaction to me and saw what they saw, accurate or inaccurate. That hasn’t happened since my escape. I don’t know if this new me is normal or abnormal, but that skewed reflection no longer exists. It should feel good, but it’s like something is gone.” You become the person he sees.”
