“…she'll go and fall in love, and there's an end of peace and fun, and cozy times together.”

“Laurie's going to have a mighty easy life all right.Annie Laurie McShane! She'll never have the hard times we had, will she?No. And she'll never have the fun we had, either."Gosh! We did have fun, didn't we, Neeley?"Yeah!Poor Laurie, said Francie pityingly.”

“I’m afraid she’s going to grow right past me and end up falling in love with some asshole who has it all together.”

“The problem is, there is absolutely nothing "fun" about falling in love. Nope. Mostly it just makes you feel sick and crazy and anxious and nervous that it's going to end miserably and ruin your whole life. And guess what: Then it does.”

“There's you. There's me. We love each other, and we have since we were kids, so we should be together. The end.”

“She'll chase you aaround for a while but there's going to come a day when she'll stop running in circles around you and in that moment you'll wish you had caught her.”
