“Even mosochists need lovers. What would a girl like me do without someone like you? Perhaps everyone is good for someone.”

“Do you know what that’s like? How good it feels? For once in my life, someone wants me.”

“Girls like guys to be a challenge. It gives them some mold to fit in how they act. Like a mom. What would a mom do if she couldn't fuss over you and make you clean your room? And what would you do without her fussing and making you do it? Everyone needs a mom. And a mom knowns this. And it gives her a sense of purpose. You get it?”

“How do I think of you? As someone I want to be with. As someone as young as me, but "older," if that makes sense. As someone I like to look at, not just because you're good to look at, but because just looking at you makes me smile and feel happier. As someone who knows her mind and who I envy for that. As someone who is strong in herself without seeming to need anyone else to help her. As someone who makes me thinks and unsettles me in a way that makes me feel more alive.”

“This is the kind of thing that happens to good looking girls like Jaime, who are prepared for these types of social interactions, not someone like me.”

“You've got to be original, because if you're like someone else, what do they need you for?”
