“Yet the only girl who'd love him is his mother...' - A Girl Worth Fighting For (song)”

“you're not just a pickpocket with fast hands." Rieker's eyes locked on hers. "I found a girl caring for other orphans like a mother. A girl who'd befriended an old bookshop keeper who had lost his only daughter. A girl who can read and is helping others learn to read." His voice softened. "And a girl so beautiful at times, you take my breath away.”

“She'd been a silly girl who'd dreamed of love, and a stupid girl who'd declared love a fraud; but she'd never imagined that when she found it,it would be richer, more powerful than dreams, and the impossibility of keeping it more painful than the worst betrayal.”

“You don't love a girl because of beauty. You love her because she sings a song only you can understand.”

“It's good not to be the only girl in the fight for once.”

“In desperate moods he asked his mirror why the girl he was crazy about was the only girl not crazy about him.”
