“Фактически да можеш да се съсредоточаваш, означава да си в състояние да останеш сам със себе си и именно това качество е съществено условие за изкуството да обичаш. Ако съм свързан по необходимост с друг човек, понеже не мога да стоя на краката си, той (или тя) могат да се нарекат мои благодетели, но взаимоотношението ни не е обич. Колкото и парадоксално да звучи, умението да бъдеш сам е предпоставка за изкуството да обичаш. Всеки, който се опита да остане сам със себе си, ще разбере колко трудна е такава задача.”

“I think I fell in love with her, a little bit. Isn't that dumb? But it was like I knew her. Like she was my oldest, dearest friend. The kind of person you can tell anything to, no matter how bad, and they'll still love you, because they know you. I wanted to go with her. I wanted her to notice me. And then she stopped walking. Under the moon, she stopped. And looked at us. She looked at me. Maybe she was trying to tell me something; I don't know. She probably didn't even know I was there. But I'll always love her. All my life.”

“She seems so cool, so focused, so quiet, yet her eyes remain fixed upon the horizon. You think you know all there is to know about her immediately upon meeting her, but everything you think you know is wrong. Passion flows through her like a river of blood.
She only looked away for a moment, and the mask slipped, and you fell. All your tomorrows start here.”
