“...I bumped into this guy outside the dean's office today. But I don't even know anything about him." Just that I want to climb him like a tree, she added silently.”

“Şöyle ya da böyle olmak elbette elimizde. Bedenimiz bahçemizdir, irademiz de bahçıvanı, ister ısırgan dikersin, ister kekik, ister hıyar yetiştirir, kabak ekersin, bahçeni ya tek bir bitkiye ayırabilirsin ya da bir sürü çiçekle doldurabilirsin, yeter ki sen iste! Bahçenin kısır kalması da elinde, verimli, bakımlı olması da. Bunların hepsini yapmak irademize bakar. Neyse ki duygularımız mantığımızla dengelenmiş.”

“This was it. This would be my final mission. An overwhelming sadness swept over me at the realization. There would be no more racing across campus to replace the missing arm of the Caesar Augustus statue with one made of pink duct tape. My mind would no longer be used as a photographic tool to unveil a terrorist’s plan. No more last-minute science experiments to help rescue a father and daughter from a terrorist organization. I wouldn’t get to rescue myself with the aid of a Millard-enhanced device. No more disguises involving wigs and glasses to save a Van Gogh painting. The Mariinsky Theatre, the Superman building, the Louvre—my stories would disappear, along with my memories. Light had vanished around me as the ocean swallowed me. I’d been unable to save a helpless girl from her evil kidnapper. In the darkness I heard Daly’s voice, clear and strong, almost like he was there. Don’t give up. Fight. Push yourself. Alexandra Stewart can make a masterpiece out of any canvas. He was right—I couldn’t give up. (page 206)”
