“The room was a small square of hopelessness.
A flash of red. And then:
Dimensions: 10 ft. by 9 ft.
I swallowed a horrific giggle. Perfect. And now I knew the exact measurements of hopelessness.”
― Debra Driza, quote from MILA 2.0
“No matter what. I wouldn't let anyone change me. I wouldn't let them strip away whatever tiny parts of me were human. Assuming I had any humanity to lose.”
― Debra Driza, quote from MILA 2.0
“No matter
how big my attempts to hide from my true nature, it still existed. I was a machine,and a powerful one.”

being an android”

― Debra Driza, quote from MILA 2.0
“But I couldn’t block out the memories, false or not. Couldn’t block out the internal pain I shouldn’t even be able to feel. Couldn’t keep those annoying phony tears that felt so, so real from flowing.”
― Debra Driza, quote from MILA 2.0
“I know you worry that you experience the world differently than regular people. But.. No two people ever view the world from exactly the same perspective, understand things the same way, human or not. The best... The best... The best we can ever do is try.”
― Debra Driza, quote from MILA 2.0
“Mom wanted me to fight.
To live.
I'd just never dreamed that I'd have to do it alone.”
― Debra Driza, quote from MILA 2.0
“The only person I could trust
was Mom.
Mom . Who I’d never see again
unless I
aced these tests. And all I had to do was
be a good little an droid. Strong .
Focused.
Emotion free.”
― Debra Driza, quote from MILA 2.0
“No matter what they said, I was alive. I had to be. At least in part. Because that once clear though screaming through me right now was: I don't want to die.”
― Debra Driza, quote from MILA 2.0
“Because despite the undeniable knowledge that I wasn't human—or mostly human, anyway—despite the proof the computer screen had show in the repair room, I still picture my interior just the same as any other sixteen-year-old girl's. Blood and guts and bones. A brain, and a functioning heart. Hopes and dreams, fears and sorrow. They could tell me the truth, but they couldn't force me to accept it.”
― Debra Driza, quote from MILA 2.0

The Ghost Map: The S...BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
