“If I stay. If I live. It's up to me.”

“I wanted to curl up in her lap and stay there forever. I wanted to be her. She was raising me, cultivating me, molding me into a far better version of me than I could have ever dreamed up, let alone lived out, on my own. (149)”

“I love you so much for putting up with your crappy job to stay here with me.”“I would put up with much worse to stay here with you.”

“I don't know. It's like getting up in the morning. I don't want to get up but I don't want to stay in bed either.”

“Why don’t we break up? I guess I stay with her because she stays with me. And that’s not an easy thing to do.”

“If I stay. If I live. It’s up to me.All this business about medically induced comas is just doctor talk. It’s not up to the doctors. It’s not up to the absentee angels. It’s not even up to God who, if He exists, is nowhere around right now. It’s up to me.”
