“You're not going to try to hug me or something, are you?" Phenex grumbled. "You've been into some weird shit since you got married.”

“Does this mean you're going to marry me then?""I've only been pestering you to marry me since the day we met, Daniel. What clued you in that I'd be interested other than that?”

“You've got a degree in philosophy; so you think you're cleverer than me. But I'm not just some drama queen. Cause it's where you're at, not where you've been.”

“You've got some power," Jakkin said. "One hug—and the lights go out!”

“You broke me up there in the mountains. You cracked something in my head, I don’t know. I have never been obsessed with another person before or after. You just drilled your way in and since then, I’ve been yours. You got to a place that I didn’t know existed ... and all that has changed me, taken the stuff away I thought was true about me. In some weird, weird way, started something that turned me into more than a goodlooking bastard.”

“If you've got kids, hug 'em like it's the last day. Go hug your parents. Go hug your best friends. And if you have any beef with anybody even from 10 years ago, tell them you're sorry and love them because you never know what's going to happen.”
