“I tried to put things in perspective but sometimes you're just too close to it.”

“Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there.”

“You know, sometimes when you're too close to someone, it's hard to see who they really are.”

“Do you ever get scared?Yeah. Sometimes. It's not like you're walking around terrified all the time, even when things are going to hell around you. It's just you're....reacting, trying to stay alive. Things are happening so fast that you don't have time to think much of anything except doing your job and trying not to die.It usally affects you afterward, once you're clear. That's when you realize how close you came and sometimes you get the shakes or puke or whatever.”

“When you're too close to people, when you spend too much time with them and love them too dearly, sometimes you can't see them”

“Dad had an annoying way of putting things into perspective.”
