Quotes edit see section history

• “Do I know you?” Oh, God. Did he expect me to answer? Luckily, he didn’t seem to, as he didn’t give me a chance to respond. “I don’t know you.” Brilliant observation, Einstein. “I should know you.”

• “Laugh, and I’ll be forced to hate you.”

  James

• “Well,” he said once he’d swallowed. “Seems you’ve officially made a date with the devil.”

  James

• “I don’t want you to miss me,” she said. “You should live your own life, sweetie, and not be weighed down by me anymore, especially once I’m gone....And I want you to fall in love and start your own family, one that'll stick around a lot longer than I did.” She reached out to take my hand, squeezing it gently. “Find someone who’ll be good to you and never let him go, all right?”

  Kate's Mother

• “These are not the sort of tests any teacher would grade you on. They test who you are, not what you have stored in your brain. It is possible you will recognize them as they are happening, and it is possible you will not. But just be yourself. That is all anyone can ask of you.”

  Henry
