“Not bombs nor my broken heart can take away from me walking barefoot with you in jasmine June through the Field of Mars.”

“I'll still love you because you are mine. Mine, Brynne. In my heart you are, and nobody can take that away from me. Not even you.”

“You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, not look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books. You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me, you shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself.”

“Take my advice. Stay away from all broken people.”

“Take pride away from a man and you might as well run a knife through his heart.”

“Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems,You shall possess the good of the earth and sun.... there are millions of suns left,You shall no longer take things at second or third hand.... nor look through the eyes of the dead.... nor feed on the spectres in books,You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,You shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself.”
