"'Rinehart, baby, is that you?' she said.
Rinehart, I thought. It works."
So that's where they got the idea for Mystique from X-Men!

"But that's a hundred-dollar bill. I take that an' try to change it and the white folks'll want to know my whole life's history."

Even as he watches the men force women and children into the street, he claims "It didn't occur to me to interfere, or to question...They had a plan" (Ellison 534).

"I seemed aware of it all from a point deep within me, yet there was a disturbing vagueness about what I saw, a disturbing uniform quality, as when you see yourself in a photo exposed during adolescence; the expression empty, the grin without character, the ears too large, the pimples, 'courage bumps', too many and too well defined. This was a new phase...a new beginning..."

Ellison, 335

There is that look in the mirror in order to see how time has not only changed the face, but the workings that go on within the head that holds the face.

"What had come out was completely uncalculated, as though another self within me had taken over and held forth."

"For now I realized that I meant everything that I had said to the audience, even though hadn't known that I was going to say those things" (Ellison p. 353).

"If dark glasses and a white hat could blot out my identity so quickly, who actually was who?"

"....becoming aware that there were two of me: the old self that slept a few hours a night and dreamed sometimes of my grandfather and Bledsoe and Brockway and Mary, the self that flew without wings and plunged from great heights; and the new public self that spoke for the Brotherhood and was becoming so much more important than the other that I seemed to run a foot race against myself..."

"A tremor passed over me; the hall was cold. Then it was gone and I squinted and took a long, hard look at my new Brotherhood name." 327

"With this, i thought, I should be seen even in a snowstorm -- only they'd think i was someone else." (Ellison 484)

"You see Brother" - the glow she gave the word was disturbing - "it is really the spiritual values of the Brotherhood that interest me/ Through no effort of my own, I have economic security and leisure, but what is that, really, when so much is wrong with the world? I mean when there is no spiritual or emotional security, and no justice?" (Ellison, 410)

"No, I thought, shifting my body, they're the same legs on which I've come so far from home. And yet they were somehow new. The new suit imparted a newness to me. It was the clothes and the new name and the circumstances. It was a newness too subtle to put into thought,but there it was. I was becoming someone else" (335).

"And my problem was that I always tried to go in everyone's way but my own."
