The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge Chapter 25: March 28, 1824 Quotes

How we cite the quotes:
(Part.Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote 1

He waded into the water, careful to leave a few telltale tracks pointing up the stream—away from the Platte. (2.25.54)

Always the schemer, Glass uses every trick in the book to evade the fearsome Arikara warriors. This is a small moment compared to some of the others that we've discussed, but we think that it's a perfect illustration of Glass's style.

Quote 2

Glass didn't move from the cottonwood for more than two hours. He listened to the off-and-on sounds of his searchers as he plotted his next move. (2.25.51)

Determination is important, but it isn't worth a lick if you don't also have patience. In math terms: determination - patience = stupidity. Luckily for Glass, however, he has a good enough head on his shoulders to know that discretion is the better part of valor.
