“I hate to be where she is not, when she is not. And yet, I am always going. - Henry deTamble”

“I hate to be where sheis not,when she is not. And yet I am always going, and she cannot follow.”

“Sometimes I am glad when Henry's gone, but I am always glad when he come's back”

“. . .Tell me, Clare: why on earth would a lovely girl like you want to marry Henry?'Everything in the room seems to hold its breath. Henry stiffens but doesn't say anything. I lean forward and smile at Mr. DeTamble and say, with enthusiasm, as though he has asked me what flavor of ice cream I like best: 'Because he's really, really good in bed.' In the kitchen there's a howl of laughter. Mr. DeTamble glances at Henry, who raises his eyebrows and grins, and finally even Mr. DeTamble smiles, and says 'Touché, my dear.”

“I have no idea where I am going, she thought, but I have begun.”

“That's what I'll be. A silhouette, rarely seen, and yet believed in. Kaeleigh wants to believe in me. I am her twin, forever alive inside her. And when she needs me, I am always here.”
