“I am not the kind of woman who excuses her mistakes while reminding us of what used to be.”

“Because I am thought to be important I am left alone. They call me doctor but I am not the kind of doctor they believe I am. I cannot mend a broken leg and am useless to everyone onboard. By virtue of my professorship I am granted peace.”

“I am a man without many pleasures in life, a man whose few pleasures are small, but a man whose small pleasures are very important to him. One of them is eating. One reading. Another reading while eating.”

“And that kind of love is more important than anything right now, Lexie. It's going to keep you sane. It's always gonna remind you of who you are.”
