“It sucks being in love with someone and never being allowed to show it.”

“Even though we'd never met, imagining being dumped by Gene made me want to die. What was the point of going out with someone? What was the point of falling in love? The whole thing was enough to make me wish I'd been born in one of those countries where they still have arranged marriages. I mean, okay, yes, it would certainly suck not being allowed to drive or vote and having to ask a man's permission to leave the house.But at least you wouldn't have to worry about being dumped.”

“And maybe that was love. Being so vulnerable and allowing someone else in so far they could hurt you, but they also give you everything.”

“Lust is the difference between loving someone and being in love with someone.”

“Do you like being a cop?""I love it, when it doesn't suck, sir.”

“I'm afraid of never being allowed to feel what I do.”
