“But even just out there in the world, people – they- they stare. They look at two guys, when they hold hands. Or when they kiss. Gay guys are all – big and they're loud. And artsy and – I don't want any of that. I want a normal life that I built on my own. Not because of my dad. Not because of my .. heart. I just want to be left alone. (Wipes a tear away.) I wish there was a way to be with a guy, but... be straight.”
Peter Fenton, Abandon All Hope
“What's the point of pushing a person away just because he's gay? You're already in Hell with him. Why would you push anyone away? Obviously, you've been wrong about something!”

Peter Fenton, Abandon All Hope
“I get the last laugh. Because you see, handing me the talisman and going to Heaven means you'll be personally responsible for two others being tortured. Locked in a room with a demon at the height of her power for the rest of eternity. Evan's blood would be on your hands. Sean's blood would be on your hands. How could you live with that? How could one person be so cruel as to hand the others an eternal sentence of cold-blooded torture?”
Peter Fenton, Abandon All Hope
“There's a key difference between my worst picture and the worst picture.”
Peter Fenton, Abandon All Hope
“There's just no way of quantifying, say, you're "more" Christian than me because with self-applied labels like "Christian" or "Righteous" or "Sexy", it just means whatever the person wants it to mean.”

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." It's a little bit on the nose, wouldn't you say, when they hang this big old sign above the entrance to Hell, the land of eternal damnation, telling you, "give up, it doesn't get better"? I'd imagine a human soul with an eternity of torture every moment of every day for the remainder of their existence would see this sign and think, "Yeah. No shit, Sherlock." Which means it's perfect.”
Peter Fenton, Abandon All Hope
“If Jean-Paul Sartre was right when he said Hell is other people, then a freshman dorm room might just be your perfect picture of Hell on Earth.”
