“But one wrong half turn of a steering wheel, one patch of wet road, one out of control moment, and the amount of life measured out to Victoria Nolan had run cruelly short.”
“Life is like a steering wheel, it only takes one small move to change your entire direction.”
“What did you find?”Uncle Mike clamped his hands to the steering wheel. “Turns out monsters are real.”

“That was always the dream, wasn't it? 'I wish I'd known then what I know now'? But when you got older you found out that you NOW wasn't YOU then. You then was a twerp. You then was what you had to be to start out on the rocky road of becoming you now, and one of the rocky patches on that road was being a twerp.”
“They say the road to happiness is a long one, but I was afraid I'd run out of gas before I arrived.”
