“I can almost see what Gabriel meant when he asked, 'What has the free world got that you can’t get here?'Almost.Freedom, Gabriel. That’s what you can’t get here.”

“I've loved you since the day I stole the atlas for you," Gabriel says, because he thinks I'm asleep.”

“I wanted to be rid of him," he says. He raises my chin with his thumb. "But not if it meant being rid of you. I climbed in beside you, and you put your head in my lap. You can't think I would have left you like that.""Look what it got you," I say."Tea in bed and you here in front of me," he says. "It was a terrible decision, and I confess I'd make it again.”

“Gabriel's voice can reach me anywhere. Even in a hurricane.”

“Ah, love. That’s what the world has lost. There’s no more love, only the illusion of it.”

“And if I have to die trying, I will get out of here.”

“Don't forget how you got here. Don't Forget.”
