“Fear makes you do all sorts of strange things.”

“I can take care of myself, but it helps if I don't have to fight so much”

“I've never had this kind of scrap with one of our kind, only heard about them. You ever hear about a whole town losing its memory, ships at sea that witness water doing things it shouldn't, like talking, or ever just notice a large plot of land that never changes even though the entire neighborhood around it does? That's my kind fighting in one form or another. Croatoan? That was us.”

“It is not good to be so much away from one's own people. It is the sort of thing known to make one strange.”

“Fear is strange thing. It has the power to make people close their eyes, turn away. Nothibg good grows out of fear.”

“Love makes a person do strange things.”

“The thing is- and I know this is going to sound strange-that I seem to love you sort of desperately”
