Quote #10
Mrs. Olinski added, "After my accident it took more courage to get back into the passenger's side of an automobile than it took for me to learn to drive again."
"I can understand that," Mr. Singh replied. "It often takes more courage to be a passenger than a driver." (10.3-4)
Mrs. Olinski is being super honest with Mr. Singh, and she doesn't even know him that well. She's telling him important things about herself that nobody else may know. She tells him what it "took" for her to be the most brave. Mr. Singh supports her and even agrees. They both say that it "takes more courage" to go along for the ride than to be in charge of where you're going.
