“I was grateful to Ben the way you are grateful to someone who is unexpectedly kind.”

“Ben made me laugh. I was attracted to his attraction for me: the way he smiled for instance, whenever he saw me, that goofy kind of grin that hijacks the face of the helplessly smitten.”

“I instinctively knew that he was dangerous, in the way that intensely alive people sometimes are.”

“I wanted blood to signify life, not death.”

“Each night the black sky and the bright stars were my stunning companions; occasionally Id see their beauty and solemnity so plainly that I'd realize in a piercing way that my mother was right. That someday I WOULD be grateful and that in fact I was grateful now, that I felt something growing in me that was strong and real.”

“I may regret the way we ended, but I will never regret what we had.”

“Hope you don’t judge me. Cause me and you are not all that different. You made me this way, you made me famous. You all assisted.”
