"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.

“You have to help another person. But it's not right to play God with masses of people. To be God you have to know what you're doing. And to do any good at all, just believing you're right and your motives are good isn't enough.”

“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.”
