Too bad. Family members hit you by accident. Psychopathic whores tend to come back for more.

Things die. But they don't always stay dead. Believe me, I know.

She says you're not awake until you're actually out of bed and standing up.

The center will hold. How do you know? Because we are the center.

I know I’m not supposed to say this, but I love you.

You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.

I don't care if you say we can't be together. I don't care if you think I'm the most evil, unnatural creature walking on earth. You can think whatever you want, go whatever you want. I'm going to just go on loving you, even if it's hopeless.

I realized I’m in love. It's always been right in front of me.

Sometimes it's worth lingering on the journey for a while before getting to the destination.

"You look too pretty to be useful." Truer words were never spoken.

Everything about her has to do with me.

If I had learned anything in my life about love, it was that they were tenous things that could end at any moment. Caution was essential-but not at the cost of risking your life

Don’t take the high ground and assume you already know what you’ll do. The truth is, when it comes to someone you love, you’ll find there isn’t anything you won’t do.

If I let myself love you, I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you.

Sometimes you wake up from a dream. Sometimes you wake up in a dream. And sometimes, every once in a while, you wake up in someone else's dream.

Wait. You think I'm going to die? That's why you slept with me?

Sydney spent a lot of time on my bed these days.Unfortunately, it wasn't with me.

You did not just say that. I have a feeling we're on the verge of hugging and coming up with cute nicknames for each other.
