“You don’t have to have had something to want it or need it but when you have something you liked… very much… and it is taken away, and you want it back, it can become a hunger.”

“You can’t understand what it’s like to have the choice taken away, a man forcing himself on you. Not caring if you want or don’t want… and that powerlessness. Not being strong enough to stop – not having any control. It’s something that never goes away.”

“If something takes too long, something happens to you. You become all and only the thing you want and nothing else, for you have paid too much for it, too much in wanting and too much in waiting and too much in getting.”

“When you want something you can’t have, it’s like a strong magnet. It can come to control you.”

“No, I don't love Max anymore. But I don't want to give you this broken, empty me. I want you to have me when I'm full, when I can give something back to you. I don't have much to give right now.”

“Whatever you want too much you can't have, so when you really want something, try to want it a little less.”
