"With both the last and the first wolf, I wonder, did you know just how alone you were? Beneath this question, lay the other one. The same one that now flickered in my chest as I travelled alone for interviews and research. Were you afraid? I wanted to ask the wolf. And if you were, how did you bear it?"-Erica Berry, Wolfish: Wolf, Self, and the Stories We Tell About Fear
