“I had killed our careful relationship by driving my tongue through its heart and pushing it off a cliff.”

“I feel emotionally conflicted. It's like when your mother in-law drives off a cliff in your new Porsche.”

“It's like a razor blade edging its way through my organs, shredding me, all I can think is: It will kill me, it will kill me, it will kill me. And I don't care.”

“My heart beats to the rhythm of the windshield wipers. I’d better never drive in the desert, unless I want to die. Our relationship has one too many cactuses in it to be deserving of my love.”

“The Heart of Gold fled on silently through the night of space, now on conventional photon drive.

“Campbell" Julia says "Don't do this to me""Do what?""Push me off the same cliff twice”
