Catherine Ryan Hyde Quote: “So she went on. “You hear the word, and you know what it means in a purely intellectual sense. But you don’t really know what people mean when they say it. You don’t know how they feel. You watch people have fun and it’s like listening to a conversation in a foreign language.” I realized as she spoke that my mouth was open. Thank goodness there was no meatball sub in there at the moment. “How did you know all that?” I asked. “I was an intellectually gifted child myself.”

They’re just showing me the landscape on the inside of themselves as they project it out onto somebody else. Does that make sense? It’s the first time I’ve tried to put it into words.”

Catherine Ryan Hyde Quote: “I can’t decide that for you. But it’s something to think about.” So I thought about it.
