“I cannot maintain a semblance of Normal anymore.I'd rather feel pain than try to fit in with you anymore.I'll throw it all away, like everybody else.I can finally be myself.Cuz I don't want to be myself.”

“I would rather throw myself out of the plane as it crosses the ocean. Since I cannot open the windows, I would die here. But before I die, I want to fight for life. If I can walk on my own, I can go wherever I like.”

“I thought to myself: 'Is the pain a little less than when I went away?' and tried to persuade myself that it was so.”

“Lena: I just want to be happy. I just want to be normal, like everybody else.Alex: Are you sure that being like everybody else will make you happy?”

“I just want to be normal, like everybody else." "Are you sure that being like everybody else will make you happy?”

“Are you paying me a compliment? I just want to be sure, so I don't miss it.""You make it sound like I'm mean and horrible because I don't throw myself at your feet.""You don't have to throw yourself at my feet. Although if you want, I'm sure I can think of something for you to do while you're down there.”
