The information. Every bit that of information that was ever in your brain. But the information is not the mind Jenna. That we've never accomplished before. What we've done with you is groundbreaking. We cracked the code. The mind is an energy that the brain produces. Think of a glass ball twirling on your fingertip. If it falls, it shatters into a million pieces. All the parts of a ball are still there, but it will never twirl with that force on your fingertip again. The brain is the same way. View quote
Mary E. Pearson

Mary E. Pearson
It doesn't matter how many universes come and go, I will always remember who we were together. View quote
Mary E. Pearson
Taking another life, she had whispered, even a guilty one, should never be easy. If it were, we'd be little more than animals. View quote
