** Finch, posing as a [[CoolTeacher substitute math teacher,]] explaining the number pi to a room full of bored high school students:
--> ... Which means that contained within this string of decimals is every single other number. Your birth date, combination to your locker, your Social Security number. It's all in there somewhere. and if you convert these decimals into letters, you would have every word that ever existed in every possible combination. The first syllable you spoke as a baby, the name of your latest crush. Your entire life story from beginning to end. Everything we ever say or do... all of the world's infinite possibilities rest within this one simple circle. Now, what you do with that information... what it's good for... well, that would be up to you.
** Later, when trying to convince [[spoiler: Caleb]] not to [[spoiler: kill himself to atone for getting his brother killed accidentally two years earlier]]:
--> Your mistakes, like mine, are part of who you are now. You can't move on from that. Believe me. I've made a sizable number. But... sometimes your mistakes can surprise you. My biggest mistake, for instance... brought me here. At exactly this moment when you might need some help.
