“You know how I feel about love. It was invented to sell wedding cakes. And vacations to Waikiki.”

“I love being reminded that existence itself is all about the tangling of souls.”

“Sometimes we make decisions about our life and they feel like the right decision at the time. No, they are the right decision at the time. But that doesn't mean they'll be the right decision forever.”

Maybe the truth is that Skye deserves him. She'll always be the winner. And I, pathetically, will always be me.”
