“Love doesn't grow at a steady rate, but advances in surges, bolts, wild leaps, and this was one of those.”
“Everybody grows up by leaps, and not by a steady climb like a mountaineer.”
“In a wild leap that made her feel as though she'd left her body, she thought, It doesn't really matter who you settle on to love, finally, providing you both deserve it.”
“We don't bolt, Ensign ... We advance cautiously to the front and quickly to the rear.”
“I love the recklessness of faith. First you leap, and then you grow wings.”
“Dying is one of those things that can’t be fixed. Not by talking about it, not with all the brain surge in the world.”
