Quote 7

Three hundred and fifty miles. A healthy man in good weather could cover that ground in two weeks. How far can I crawl in a day? (1.7.49)

Think about that for a second. Just think about it. Glass is still recovering from a brutal bear attack, yet he still has the determination to crawl across hundreds of miles of rocky terrain in order to get revenge. Just think about that the next time you take the elevator instead of the stairs.

Quote 8

His jaw set [...] and he felt again the visceral desire to strike out in pursuit. This time though, he also felt the weakness of his body. (1.7.29)

After being abandoned by Fitzgerald and Bridger, Glass's first thought is to get some sweet, sweet revenge. Good plan. There's just one problem, however: Glass was just—uh, you know—attacked by a giant bear. That kind of thing tends to take its toll on the body, wouldn't you think?
