  • "I'm part of some big circle that I don't understand. And so are you. Life, death, good and bad, everything is part of that circle. When I hurt you, I hurt myself, too. I don't think I'll ever heal from what I did to you, but I'm sorry, Peter. I really am sorry."
  • "That hotdog did exactly what you asked it to do. You asked it to feed you, and it fed you. No more, no less"
  • "Whatever you do to the animals, you do to yourself. Remember that."
  • "The mauling didn't make sense. In the past, everything had always been afraid of him. Why wasn't the bear scared?"
  • "A strange thought occurred to Cole: the world was beautiful. Yes, the world was beautiful….He wondered why he had never noticed this all before. How much beauty had he missed in his lifetime? How much beauty had he destroyed?"
  • "Yes, [the hot dog celebration] was a big deal. It was a party. It was a feast. It was a sharing and a celebration. All because that is what I made it. Yours was simply food because that is all you chose for it to be. All of life is a hot dog. Make of it what you will. I suggest you make your time here on the island a celebration."
  • "[Cole] couldn't stop wondering why he had been born and thinking about all the twisted events that had brought him to this moment. It seemed a bizarre dream to be standing alone on this rocky hillside in Alaska with a round stone at his feet, his mind filled with thoughts so totally different from anything he'd known running around on the streets back in Minneapolis. He felt like a new and a different person."
  • "A whale migrates but it doesn't have a home…I feel like the whale."
  • Cole: "[Peter's] never going to forgive me." Garvey: "Think how much your arm and hip still hurt. Wounds of the spirit heal even slower."
  • "Being invisible had nothing to do with being seen. Being invisible meant not being sensed or felt."
  • "The dances, carving the totem, carrying the ancestor rock, touching the Spirit Bear, it was all the same thing-it was finding out who I really was."
  • "Standing beside the totems, he explained to Peter that being invisible was being a part of life's circle and accepting it. 'This morning, when we forgave each other, we also forgave ourselves…We allowed ourselves to become a part of the big circle. That's why we saw the Spirit Bear.'"
