Forrás: Going Bovine (2009), p. 253
Kontextus: You’ve been assigned an identity since birth. Then you spend the rest of your life walking around in it to see if it really fits. You try on all these different selves and abandon just as many. But really it’s about dismantling all that false armor, getting down to what’s real.

—  Libba Bray, Going Bovine

Forrás: Going Bovine (2009), p. 178
Kontextus: People always think they know other people, but they don’t. Not really. I mean, maybe they know things about them, like they won’t eat doughnuts or they like action movies or whatever.
