"Last update before review: p.170 Something round and dirty and white was resting near my foot. It was a skull, I picked it up. “Is that you, Nicholas?” I asked. “Put that down, Peter,” said Nightingale. “You don’t know where it’s been.”" Jul 12, 2012 06:51AM

"Many doctors believe, like Ana’s Dr. Cosford, that autism, chronic fatigue, and a variety of other chronic illnesses all involve a deterioration of the biological systems that help us cope with the environment. To Cosford and others, the autism is not a “thing” or “specific disease” but the way the brain and body behave when their cells are having a hard time." Jul 08, 2012 06:04AM

“I’m done with all the stupid shit. I’m done with politicians, the rich taxing the poor. I’m done with organised religions, profiting off their prophets. I’m done with pop culture, making everything consumable. I’m done, I’m done, I’m done”

Mariah Fredericks
“My mom doesn't know what it's like to be less than perfect, how people zoom in on that until it's all they see. Maybe because it weirds them out...or maybe because it makes them feel better about themselves. People do pretty ugly things to make themselves feel better, this I do know.”
Mariah Fredericks, The Girl in the Park

P.G. Wodehouse
“I'm not absolutely certain of my facts, but I rather fancy it's Shakespeare -- or, if not, it's some equally brainy lad -- who says that it's always just when a chappie is feeling particularly top-hole, and more than usually braced with things in general that Fate sneaks up behind him with a bit of lead piping.”
P.G. Wodehouse, My Man Jeeves

Mariah Fredericks
“Wendy is still dead. I hadn't understood before: it really doesn't bring them back. Somehow, you think, despite what you know, it will be a trade. Find the person who did the wrong thing and they will suffer instead of the one who was killed. Instead, that person just suffers too.”
Mariah Fredericks, The Girl in the Park

John Burroughs
“Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars, every place is the center of the world.”
John Burroughs, Studies in Nature and Literature
