“The only thing that ever scared him was finding out there was something he couldn't do, so he damn well made sure there was anything he couldn't.”
“My heart raced. He needs you, I thought. Don't let him down. I couldn't remember ever being so happy... or so scared.”
“He could do only one thing at a time. If he held her, he couldn't kiss her. If he kissed her, he couldn't see her. If he saw her, he couldn't feel her.”
“He is everything, everything, everything I ever admired and wanted and couldn't have. He is everything I needed and couldn't find in real life. Of course he is. That's why I invented him.”
“The strange thing was, he wanted to like everyone. He just couldn't find a way to do it.”
“He couldn't remember where he was. The thought made him smile”
