“...she studies to be equal in a world that is no longer surprised at anything”
“...not all encounters with the world affect the mind equally. Studies have demonstrated that if the brain appraises an event as "meaningful," it will be more likely to be recalled in the future.”
“She no longer believed in talk. It never rescued anything. ”
“It is equally important to investigate wellness as it is to study misery.”
“She wants him to become enchanted, to enter so deeply into her distress that his view of the world is changed and the insult of easy answers is no longer possible. Enchantment always causes complications. He is wise to resist, as she is equally wise to press for a true connection and nothing less.”
“She was no longer theirs. She was his.And he was hers.And this was their world.”
