“I've gotta go now. Laura has this stupid thing she wants me to go to. There was a feminine yell in the background. This supremely wonderful and life changing thing she wants me to go to.”

“I've wanted one thing for me whole life and I'm not going to be that girl who wants one thing her whole life then gets it and complains.”

“Okay. But I'm just going to be out there - having a tea party with her cats or whatever it is she has in mind. You need me? You yell. You want to leave? We go. I'll get you out of here, no matter what.”

“I want to go home," she whispered to me. "Forget that last speech, I want to go home.”

“West didn’t want her to get hurt anymore. He wanted her to let go. He wanted her to appreciate her life. To know he loved her. All these things sounded so stupid to him when he imagined saying them and he knew she didn’t want to hear them anyway. She wanted to hear one thing.”

“Who am I to try to change things, to get greedy and want more? If our Society changes and things are different, who am I to tell the girl who would have enjoyed the safe protected life that now she has to have choice and danger because of me?”
