When all think alike, no one is thinking very much.
                     Walter Lippmann (1889-1974):  it relates to this book because so many people where thinking different things and assuming things, but the people who just thought what everyone else thought, weren't even thinking at all. Like when people were thinking that Jenny was weird just because other people thought that too.

 To be absolutely certain about something, one must know everything or nothing about it.
Olin Miller: because it this case her counselor knew nothing about what she was saying, so she just assumed she was right. Like when she thought Jenny was normal but she didn't even know anything about how she was.

 We know what a person thinks not when he tells us what he thinks, but by his actions.
Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904-1991): because in this story a lot of people were lying to each other and saying one thing but then doing something totally opposite so actions show more than words.  For example,  when Debbie said she was friends with Jenny but then turned around and talked about her.

 Every really new idea looks crazy at first.
Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947): because the main character in the book didn't think a new idea was going to work because it sounded new and different , but it really did work. When Jenny heard that she might have to kill the wolf it sounded crazy.

 Only the suppressed word is dangerous.
Ludwig Börne: When Jenny needed to say something about her health and when it got worse, she didn't, and this made her worse.

 Half the work that is done in this world is to make things appear what they are not. Elias Root Beadle: when her doctor told her she was fine so she wouldn’t freak out and she told her something to make her think something different.
