“If there had been an exercise I'd liked, would I have gotten this big in the first place?”

“It would have broken my heart if it hadn't been so damn familiar. I guess I'd gotten numb to that sort of thing. I had heart-leather like walruses got blubber.”

“like I am Alice in the Wonderland and have gotten too big for the room.”

“Most people felt lost after high school. Sometimes I felt like I'd never really been found in the first place.”
