“Somehow, being with Brittany brings something to my life that's missing, something ... right.”

“All my life I've felt like there was something wrong with me. Something missing or damaged.""Every teenager in the world feels like that, feels broken or out of place, different somehow, royalty mistakenly born into a family of peasants.”

“There is a fine line between seeing something that's lost as missing, and seeing it as something that might be found.”

“But with friendship, there's nothing like that. Being in a relationship, that's something you choose. Being friends, that's just something you are.”

“ I think something you are missing and have missed out on your whole life, Jenna, is the difference between being fucked and being loved....I want to show you how you can be loved.....”

“I felt like I had lost something. But not something silly, like my keys or my gum; more like my arm or my foot, something that really mattered. Like something that I could live without, but would make life much harder if it were missing. And life is hard enough. Life is hard enough with everything we're given.”
