1 " The wolves watch us watching them and i recall the two wolves chasing the snowshoe hare across the field. How fast they claimed that animal as their prize. I remember wondering how the rabbit's heart must have known without doubt that it would be eaten. I think about this as we turn our backs on the wolves, and head deeper into the woods. I try to bury the worry, because we're not rabbits. We are humans. We are hunters. We are not prey. "

7 " At school some kids get labeled. Too skinny. Too fat. Too smart. Too dumb. Too quiet. It's hard to lose those labels. Maybe impossible. But i'm gonna see if there's another label for me down by the river. Intuitive and vunerable. Smart and brave. "
8 " I'm surprised at Nash's offer, but then no one is completely rotten, even if it seems that way. We've all got a littly good, and a little ugly. Some just have more of one than the other. "
