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.
