chinese provert-proverb-pervert?

I love people's voices when they read. They totally adjust their tone, to a more, flowy and an intensely conscious way because they know people listen. And when people listen, they have a chance to pick out the flaws and make fun of however they interpreted what they just heard. Nevertheless, I love listening to people read out loud :) You wonder if they would ever sound the same when they talk to you normally. Or not.

"Nobody wants to admit this, but bad things will keep on happening. Maybe that's because it's all a chain, and a long time ago someone did the first bad thing, and that led someone else to do another bad thing, and so on. You know, like that game where you whisper a sentence into someone's ear, and that person whispers it to someone else, and it all comes out wrong in the end.
But then again, maybe bad things happen because it's the only way we can keep remembering what good is supposed to look like."
"When you don't fit in, you become superhuman. You can feel everyone else's eyes on you, stuck like Velcro. You can hear a whisper about you from a mile away. You can disappear, even when it looks like you'restil standing right there. You can scream, and nobody hears a sound.
You become the mutant who fell into the vat of acid, the Joker who can't remove his mask, the bionic man who's missing all his limbs and none of his heart.
You are the thing that used to be nomal, but that was so long ago, you can't even remember what it was like."
-Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
