“Caleb offered me a family, but you offered me something worth so much more: myself.”

“Beauty fades so you'd better work at having something more to offer.”

“If you were a gentleman, you would offer to buy me one as well.""If you were a lady, you would have waited for me to make the offer.”

“... To me the offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, the offer of an impermeable faith that can’t give way is an offer of something not worth having. I want to live my life taking the risk all the time that I don’t know anything like enough yet… that I haven’t understood enough… that I can’t know enough… that I am always hungrily operating on the margins of a potentially great harvest of future knowledge and wisdom. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“So what did you do, drug me, stuff me in the trunk, then dump me like a sacrificial offering into that vampire’s coffin? - Shella”

“I love you so much,and there are so many things that I didn't get to tell you. I was scared of the way you loved me,Caleb.”
