“If Stuart is a freak... it is because he has had the superhuman strength not to be defeated by this isolation. It is because he has had the almost unbelievable social adroitness to be able to fit in smoothly with an educated, soft-skinned person like myself and not make me frightened half to death. If Stuart's a freak, I salute freaks.”
“I had severe control freak tendencies, and when I had no control—I freaked out.”
“They thought to use and shame me but I win out by nature, because a true freak cannot be made. A true freak must be born.”
“I loved the terrier quality Stuart had. He thought he was such a tough guy.”
“I had a quiet freak-out.”
“I'm going to let myself love you now. Don't freak out on me."He laughed. "No promises.”
