“Sometimes being a leader isn’t about winning. Sometimes it’s about doing what’s right, instead of what’s powerful.”

“Is it important to be right or is it important to do what’s right? That’s one of the hardest lessons to learn.”

“Because what’s worse than knowing you want something, besides knowing you can never have it?”

“Being a good leader is knowing when...to back off.”

"Anysing vorth saving?"Fang pretended to think, gazing up at the ceiling. "Besides my fashion sense? I play a mean harmonica.”

“Hey. Not sure what’s going on-gonna go find out. Be careful and don’t do anything stupid. Don’t come after me-your better on your own. See you. FI sat on the edge of the bed, holding the note.Okay, so Fang had looked up vague in the dictionary and this was what it had said to write.”

“Fang. I had to do some thinking about him.Me. I had some thinking to do about me too.”
