Quote #4

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 #5

He knew he couldn't allow himself to think about it, not in its totality. A mile at a time. (1.8.12)

Glass keeps himself sane by focusing only on the task at hand rather than worrying about what might happen in the future. To do otherwise would surely lead to, you know, something like madness.

Quote #6

It took him almost two hours to crawl down the creek to the Grand. (1.8.17)

Even with a good attitude, however, survival is going to be a lot easier said than done. Buckle in, Shmoopers, because this is going to be one bumpy ride.
