“A man would rather be trampled by elephants on fire than tell you he's just not that into you.”

“I would rather insult you than lose you, he said, and before any of them could make a move to stop him, he cast both items into the fire.”

“Everyone with any sense and experience in life would rather take his fellows one by one than in a crowd. Crowds are noisy, unreasonable and impatient. They can trample you easier than a single person can. And a crowd will never buy you lunch.”

“What can you say to a man who tells you he prefers obeying God rather than men, and that as a result he's certain he'll go to heaven if he cuts your throat?”

“The worst place to be is in the middle. When elephants fight, the grass gets trampled.”

“I had to wait for someone special. Someone who would make my heart feel as if it's been trampled by elephants, thrown into the amazon, and eaten by piranhas.”
