Symbiont

"We`re all monsters," I said. "Being a monster is not the same as being a bad person. It just means you`re willing to eat the world if that`s what you have to do to keep yourself alive. You really want ot tell me that you wouldn`t eat the world if that was what you had to do? That you wouldn`t unhinge your jaw and swallow the sky if it brought Paul back? You`re no better than Dr. Cale. Maybe you`re even worse. You`re not willing to admit that you`re a monster too, and you should. You should just let yourself be the monster that you want to be. Maybe then you wouldn`t feel the need to hide behind a gun all the time." Carrie stared at me. "You`re insane." "I hate that word. All it means is 'you don`t think like I do,' and by that standard, everyone is insane. It`s a meaningless idea."
