“But I can understand now why people read, why they like to get lost in somebody else’s life. Sometimes I’ll read a sentence and it will make me sit up, jolt me, because it is something that I have recently felt but never said out loud” (p. 167).

The first part of that is trippy; Reading about someone who is reading and understanding reading as an escape while you are currently reading to escape. Weird.

“We are to be held up to the rest of the world as a mirror of their worst nightmares. scapegoats for all that is wrong in their lives.” P. 76

“...suddenly feeling even more alone, I sense the tears start again. They comfort me; they make me feel human and remind me that I am human...” p. 54

“When you see something, it can’t be unseen. When you hear a sound, it can never be unheard. I know, deep down, that this evening I have learned something that can never be unlearned. And the part of my world that is altered will never be the same.” Pg. 14
