1 " Who knows the colors someone else sees? "
― Anne Perry , Corridors of the Night (William Monk, #21)
2 " The people to be saved stretched without end into the future. "
3 " You don’t just tell horses, you know. They got minds o’ their own, like anybody else. "
4 " I have already told you, Mr. Monk, I have no idea where my brother is. Not that I would necessarily tell you if I did. Your wife is an excellent nurse. She has rare experience in certain areas that are useful to us, and if she chose to go with him, and has not informed you, then that is her own concern. "
5 " If she protected him from this one, then how would he be armed or prepared for the next, or the one after that? Without pain, how would he learn compassion? If it were easy, of what value was it? "
6 " The very ill have little privacy, even for the most intimate of things. "
7 " Dependence can make people hate those they depend upon. It could be a complex and exhausting relationship. Often it was better to be nursed by someone whose opinion does not matter to you. "
8 " I have seen my share of cruelty, injustice, and grief. I do not need to be treated like some flower that will bruise if you touch it. "
