A Familiar Sight (Dr. Gretchen White, #1)

“We need people in our lives who don’t expect us to be anything but what we are,”

Was it possible to recognize that you were the bad guy in a story? Reed hadn’t thought he was, but how long could he deny that every person around him seemed to have cast him in that role?

The problem with accepting that fact was that if he started to believe them, he wasn’t sure what would stop him from proving them right.

Psychopaths read power the way empaths could read body language. Instinctually.

“There are brains that are more prone to illusory pattern perception,”

“More prone to finding connections in unrelated data. They’re simply wired that way.”

“People who have an excess of dopamine pumping through their gray matter,”

“It’s the reverse of low dopamine in addicts. That deficit makes them think that nothing matters. For someone with high dopamine levels, they think everything matters.”

Life wasn’t always about making the right choices. Sometimes it was about making the wrong ones just to see what would happen.
