“Whenever I see my teachers out in the real world I clam up, get a sort of weird feeling, and look for the nearest exit.”

“Whenever I get that sad, depressed feeling, I go out and kill a policeman.”

“That was the day my whole world went black. Air looked black. Sun looked black. I laid up in bed and stared at the black walls of my house….Took three months before I even looked out the window, see the world still there. I was surprised to see the world didn’t stop.”

“The whole world seemed a maze of shifting mirrors in which I wandered alone, looking always and frenziedly for the exit back into my real life, where people had substance, did as they said they would, and were whole.”

“I feel like I've woken up in some sort of crazy carefree person's universe. I don't belong here. This is not my life—or my world.”

“And at home by the fire, whenever you look up there I shall be— and whenever I look up, there will be you. -Gabriel Oak”
