Quote #4
The mind was the last thing to go, washed away in the red waters of the Tsunami. The virus took total control. Some people went into a frenzy as it boiled their brains. (11.15)
This is your brain. This is alien plague. This is what your brain looks like on alien plague. Any questions?
Quote #5
[Sammy] being the one thing that's kept me from going completely crazy, the thing the Others haven't been able to take from me after taking everything from me. (12.5)
The thought of rescuing Sammy is a lifeline for Cassie, who should have, by all rights, gone bananas a looooong time ago.
Quote #6
"Zombie, do something," Dumbo begs me. "He's going Dorothy." Dumbo's referring to the recruit who snapped on the rifle range one day, turning her weapon on her own squad members. (46.24-46.25)
In the world of the book, "going Dorothy" is military slang for being crazy. This is curious given that, in The Wizard of Oz (both the book and the movie), Dorothy Gale is perfectly sane.
