“I've never seen the stars before.And I never knew they were so beautiful.”

“the stars seemed near enough to touch and never before have i seen so many.i always believed the lure of flying is the lure of beauty, but i was sure of it that night.”

“It makes me sad because I've never seen such--such beautiful shirts before.”

“I've never seen anyone get so excited over books before. You'd think they were diamonds.”

“I will never, never be the same.I have seen stars.Real stars.”

“I hear Warner laugh.I see him smile.It's the kind of smile that transforms him into someone else entirely, the kind of smile that puts stars in his eyes and a dazzle on his lips and I realize I've never seen him like this before. I've never seen his teeth--so straight, so white, nothing less than perfect. A flawless, flawless exterior for a boy with a black, black heart. It's hard to believe there's blood on the hands of the person I'm staring at. He looks soft and vulnerable--so human. His eyes are squinting from all his grinning and his cheeks are pink form the cold.He has dimples.He's easily the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.And I wish I'd never seen it.”
