“I was looking for a way to be someone else,'I said.”

“When he went into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, he thought his features were changing. I look like a gentleman, he said to himself sometimes. I look younger. I look like someone else”

“I heard that the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.”

“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.”

“Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.”

“I'm tired of watching you be in love with someone else someone who will never love you back, not the way I do.”
