“If you're going to wallow, know when to dry off.”

“The point is, not to resist the flow. You go up when you're supposed to go up and down when you're supposed to go down. When you're supposed to go up, find the highest tower and climb to the top. When you're supposed to go down, find the deepest well and go down to the bottom. When there's no flow, stay still. If you resist the flow, everything dries up. If everything dries up, the world is darkness.”

“But if this works-if I pass, I need to know that when you look at me, you're going to see me, not just her replacement. That there is more in this future for me than standing in the shadows while you wallow the rest of your existence away.”

“Love is like jumping off a cliff, even when you know you're acrophobic.”

“When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.”

“You're going to stay here. You're going to get strong. And then, when your mind is as empty as your glass, you'll know what to do.”
