"Will you listen to him? A woman asking a guy what he's thinking is the ultimate crime, she's clingy and needy and he runs a mile, but when it's the other--" "Behave yourself, " I said, pulling her hood over her face. "Help! I'm being oppressed! " she yelled through it. "Call the Equality Commission." The stroller girl gave us a sour look. "You're overexcited, " I told Cassie.

About This Quote

I am a human being, I possess a mind and a body. My mind works the same way yours does, but my body is different. I do not know what my future holds, but I can make decisions for myself and do things that other people's bodies cannot do. No one has the power to control what I do or say, but if I behave in a certain way, people will think differently of me.

This quote from Sophocles says that our behavior is what makes us act like people with minds. Our actions determine who we are to others.
