“You like him because he's a lost boy. Believe me, I've seen it happen before. But do you know what happens to girls who love lost boys? They become lost themselves. Without fail.”
“I was eventually to become one person, gathered up maybe, during a pause, at a comma.”

“Boys have penises and girls have vaginas. If they touch at the wrong time, you can make a baby or die.”
“Trust me, after the Boy Issues I’ve had, I’m becoming a nun.”
