"I, Philip Kearny, an old soldier, enter my solemn protest against this order for retreat."

We look so very different from the way we sound. It’s a shock, similar to hearing your own voice for the first time, when you’re forced to wonder how the rest of you comes across if you sound nothing like the way you think you sound. You feel dislodged from the old shoe of yourself.

— Elizabeth Hay
