“The girl is infectious human waste, and she's confused and afraid to commit to the wrong thing and so she won't commit to anything.”

“It's just such a big commitment," Brandy says, "being a girl, you know. Forever."Taking the hormones. For the rest of her life. The pills, the patches, the injections, for the rest of her life. And what if there wassomeone, just one person who would love her, who could make her life happy, just the way she was, without the hormones and make-up and the clothes and shoes and surgery? She has to at least look around the world a little.”

“The girl traced the outline of her lover's shadow so she would always have a record of how he looked...”

“He was the kind of boy any young girl should date while she's still able to recover.”

“If it is the case that love does survive death, then you may consider this to be a happy ending. Boy meets girl. Boy gets girl. Happily ever after or not.”

“...the girl's lover was gone, but his shadow was still there.”
