“They are also one of the few species, other than humans, that can recognize themselves in a mirror. That morning, as Nola had faced the image of her wet self over the locker room sink, she’d wondered about the scientists who devised that experiment. Why give a perfectly happy animal a mirror?”
Erica Bauermeister, No Two Persons

“When Juliet worked with actors, she taught them the concept of de-roling, a way of stepping out of a character at the end of the day so you could return unencumbered to your other life. But the parenting role, once assumed, tended to stay put.”

“I’m sure it’s easy to think you’re in charge of the world if you’re the one measuring it. But Annalise, you‘re just the one holding the clock – the thing that’s been measured is what matters. The beautiful, complicated everything that happens during that moment.”

Erica Bauermeister
“But the boy in the book hadn’t had time to contemplate such philosophical thoughts. Not yet. He was still standing there, stained with tomatoes. In the moment, as they say. And Nola wouldn’t stop reading because she couldn’t leave him there alone.”

Erica Bauermeister
“The question people who weren’t in the business always asked: which one is your favorite? Meaning the best. As if she could ever separate the story from the conversations with the author, the dinner she was eating when she read it for the first time, the negotiation of the deal, the first sight of the cover, the reviews, the book events, the faces in the audience. The thought, I made this happen, even if none of the words were ever hers.”
