— you doubt your own powers. In a certain sense you are physically impotent, unable to do anything."

Sam: "And when we're actually being tested, the anxiety is enhanced."

Budd: "One very strange thing that Pat remembered — the thing of the needle going in under the eye — another case of the needle doing up the nose. The neurosurgeon said that is going into the region of the optic nerve, and he said, 'Wouldn't it be wild if you could see through people's eyes?"'

Whitley: "What if I say love? Longing? Does anyone feel anything like that toward them?"

(There was general agreement, except for Sally, who demurred m this way:) Sally: "You know, the funny thing is, before hypnosis I felt an attachment to them, a love.

And after hypnosis I was angry. So I can't really say that I feel love."

Pat: "I feel loyalty."

Sally: "I feel like I want to strangle them."

Sam: "I have a lot of mixed emotions. Why are they doing this? That aggravates me. I go back and forth because I don't know. So it's mixed feelings. I feel that they demand loyalty."

Whitley: "I think we're sisters and brothers not from the fact that we went through something together but from the fact that we noticed."

Sally: "What I really feel hurt about is that I wasn't given more respect. If I ever meet them again, I want to be in control. I want to be able to speak my mind without them telling me what to do. I want to ask them questions. I want some respect for my being And if they don't do that, then I don't want them back, I really don't. I don't want them anywhere near me, if I don't get that response."

Amy: "You want them to share with your intelligence what they're doing, rather than forcing you to be a part of it."

Sally: "Yeah. I don't even want to know what they're doing. I may be curious, but the point is, if they can't trust me, why should I even care about what they're doing? I just don't want to know. The human race has to have some sort of respect from these creatures, and we're not getting that. I don't feel it, and I'm certain — they take children in the middle of the night, they don't care about the anxiety of the parents — they don't understand so many things, and they don't make an effort to understand. Until we can get across to them that we matter and deserve respect, I don't think we should give them respect."
