“I would have done anything for him. But these days, I don't want to do anything. I don't want to get drunk or go to a wild party or make out with random boys-not that I've ever wanted to. I don't want to watch chick flicks or eat ice cream or get a haircut or buy out half of the mall. I don't want cold, cruel revenge. I don't want to see him suffer when karma catches up with him and kick his ass. I don't even want to talk to him right now, simply because it would be awkward and pathetic and I wouldn't know what to say to him. Yes, there is self-control, preventing me from being stupid and acting like a desperate doofus in the manner most heartbroken people do. But there is also a weary numbness threatening to consume every inch of me: Isn't there a way for me to skip straight to the part where I'm fine again?”

“Успяваше да ми въздейства така дълбоко, на такова първично ниво, и в същото време толкова ме дразнеше...Контрастът буквално предизвикваше световъртеж. Как бе възможно да се чувствам привлечена от мъж, чиито думи би трябвало да ме отблъснат?”

“that is the thing about selfish people. they
gamble entire beings. entire souls to please their own. one second they are holding you like the world in their lap and the next they have belittled you to a mere picture. a moment. something of the past. one second. they swallow you up and whisper they want to spend the rest of their life with you. but the moment they sense fear. they are already halfway out the door. without having the nerve to let you go with grace. as if the human heart means that little to them.
and after all this. after all of the taking. the nerve. isn't it sad and funny how people have more guts these days to undress you with their fingers than they do pick up the phone and call. apologize. for the loss. and this is how you lose her.

“Познатият глас, тъмните очи парализираха мисълта й, подчиняваха волята й, обхващаха цялото й същество с магията на октомврийския следобед преди четири години, когато го видя за първи път. Някаква сила я тласкаше отново към мъчителното и сладостно чувство на миналото.”
