Chapter 9

Quinn and Peter's father had their first meeting. I hereby will doubt if the way Quinn confronted Stillman could really work. He started with staring the old man for two minutes speechlessly, and, when the old man stopped him, he simply said:
I haven't said anything
twice. 
The weird thing to me is that Stillman thought Quinn was a man of sense and started to reveal to Quinn what he had done in New York.
The old man was indeed crazy. He said that words could not express some meanings and therefore he was creating new words. What kinds of stuff are not expressed by words? Like umbrella without the cloth, Stillman said. So the junk he picked up on the streets were actually his study data, and he was creating words for them.
