“Love and death are everything, Jenny. Danger is the best part of the game. I thought you knew that." -Julian”

“Julian: What's black inside, white outside, and hot?Jenny: What?Julian: A wolf in sheep's clothing.Jenny: Is that what you are?Julian: Me? No, I'm a wolf in wolf's clothing.”

“That’s what death did, it treated you like a child, like everything you had ever thought and done and cared about was just a child’s game, to be crumpled up and thrown away when it was over. It didn’t matter. Death didn’t respect you. Death thought you were bullshit, and it wanted to make sure you knew it.”

“But what I thought, and what I still think, and always will, is that she saw me. Nobody else has ever seen me — me, Jenny Gluckstein — like that. Not my parents, not Julian, not even Meena. Love is one thing — recognition is something else.”

“It's the best possible time to be alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong.”

“They knew that love snatched in the face of danger and death was doubly sweet for the strange excitement that went with it.”
