Quotes edit see section history

show spoilers

• “If it makes you feel better, you can tell me to screw off if you want to refuse anything, but I hope you won’t because I really want to show you how to live.”

  Andrew

• “You were the missing piece of my soul, the breath in my lungs, and the blood in my veins.”

  Andrew

• “Depression is pain in its purest form and I would do anything to be able to feel an emotion again. Any emotion at all. Pain hurts, but pain that's so powerful that you can't feel anything anymore, that's when you start to feel like you're going crazy.”

  Camryn

• “You dwell on the past, you can't move forward. Spend too much time planning for the future and you just push yourself backwards, or you stay stagnant in the same place all your life. His eyes lock on mine. Live in the moment, he says as if making a serious point, where everything is just right, take your time and limit your bad memories and you'll get wherever it is you're going a lot faster and with less bumps in the road along the way.”

  Andrew

• “I wonder why there's so much with strawberry or kiwi, or strawberry and kiwi in it. I hate both.”

  Andrew

• “One of the worst feelings in the world is being unable to cry and eventually it starts to make things darker.”

  Camryn

• “Yes! I cried watching The Notebook, alright?You said you wouldn't laugh!”

  Andrew

• “I don't think you ever really fall out of love with someone, I say and see a flicker of thought movethrough her eyes. I think when you fall in love, like true love, it's love for life. All the rest is just experience and delusions.”

  Andrew

• “My Eurydice is only half of the tattoo, he says and his eyes trail downward to where the tattoo is in relation to my body next to it. I thought that one day, if I ever got married, my girl would get the other half and reunite them.”

  Andrew

• “That nothing lasts forever. He hesitates, still looking out the window with his arms crossed over his chest. It's better to shun emotion than to fall for it and let it make you its bitch and since nothing lasts forever, in the end everything that was once good, always hurts like hell.”

  Andrew

• “I basically laid the option out on the table for her: If you were to let me fuck you, you would have to let me own you. If that wasn't a blatant invitation then I don't know what is.Not very romantic, but it is what it is.”

  Andrew

• “Please", I whisper, "don't let me go.”

  Camryn

• “For the first time in my life, I've felt whole, alive, free. You were the missing piece of my soul, the breath in my lungs, the blood in my veins. I think that if past lives are real then we have been lovers in every single one of them. I've known you for a short time, but I feel like I’ve known you forever.”

  Andrew

• “One more thing: don't feel bad for not telling me that you loved me. You didn't need to say it. I knew all along that you did.”

  Andrew

• “He told me that a real fighter never cries, never lets the weight of any blow bring him down. Except that final blow, the inevitable one, but even then they always go out like men.”

  Andrew
