Quotes

• "I wouldn’t be in this profession— with you, I’ll point out—if I didn’t think that external perspectives can help us recalibrate. Sometimes, we really do need other people’s help."

• "I’ve got nothing against raisins. But oatmeal cookies should have chocolate. And pecans."

• "But you’re not other people, arii. You’re Vasiht’h, and you’re as upset about this as you are, not as some textbook client.” He smiled and scratched behind Sarah’s ears, eliciting a sleepy twitch. “It’s all right to be you, you know."
