“I think having the opportunity to get inside the skin of people that operate outside the law and normal moral and ethical restraints, and then to go home afterwards leaving them on set, is pretty cathartic. I get to play out all kinds of bad behavior without anyone actually coming to harm.” PeopleThinkingKindPlayHomeLawOpportunityMoralBehaviorNormalSkinsLeavingHarmAll KindsEthicalRestraintBad BehaviorCathartic Author:Adam Croasdell

“Together we understood what terror was: you're not human anymore. You're a shadow. You slip out of your own skin, like molting, shedding your own history and your own future, leaving behind everything you ever were or wanted to believed in. You know you're about to die. And it's not a movie and you aren't a hero and all you can do is whimper and wait.” KnowsHumansWantedTogetherDiesWaitingCan DoBehindsHeroUnderstoodShadowSkinsLeavingTerrorSlips Book:The Things They Carried: A Work of Fiction Source: The Things They Carried: A Work of Fiction
“In my dream it was very dark, and what dim light there was seemed to be radiating from Edward's skin. I couldn't see his face, just his back as he walked away from me, leaving me in the blackness. No matter how fast I ran, I couldn't catch up to him; no matter how loud I called, he never turned. Troubled, I woke in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep again for what seemed like a very long time. After that, he was in my dreams nearly every night, but always on the periphery, never within reach.” LongMatterDreamLightFacesNightDarkSleepMiddleLong TimeSkinsLeavingLoudRanEvery NightLeaving MeBlacknessMiddle Of The NightWithin ReachPeriphery Author:Stephenie Meyer
“So you go away from where you were afraid. Some stay; some go; it's a big difference, leaving the humiliations of childhood, the morbid fear. We didn't have much to say to each other, the ones that left and the ones that stayed. Children get shamed by fear but you can't tell the adults that; they don't care. They make children into dead things like they are. If there's something left alive in you, you run. You run from the poor little child on her knees; fear burned the skin off all right; she's still on her knees, dead and raw and tender.” IfsChildrenLittlesStillsBigsCareRunningLeftDifferencesPoorAliveChildhoodAdultsSkinsLeavingDon't CareKneesGoing AwayBurnedHumiliationMorbid Author:Andrea Dworkin

“Gently, I ran my hand across his chest, exploring it. My breath felt tight in my throat. He was so beautiful. His muscles were toned, defined, his skin warm and smooth. Stroking my palm up over the line of his collarbone, I felt the firmness of his shoulder, the strength of his bicep. I traced my fingers over the black AK, following the lines of the letters. Alex hardly moved as I touched him, his eyes never leaving me. Finally I sighed and dropped my hand. I tried to smile.

But then I met her, and...I felt like maybe I could make something more of my decision.' Her.
