“When all you want is a person's body and you don't really want their mind, heart or spirit, you have reduced a person to a thing.”

“I'm a better person when I'm with you. I don't want to stop being that person. I don't want you to go”

“If you are not in the process of becoming the person you want to be, you are automatically engaged in becoming the person you don't want to be. ”

“...But I don't want you to be afraid to take risks. If it's worth it...If the person in his eyes is the person you want to be, the person you know you could be...then don't be scared...”

“Eleanor was sane enough to realise that when your sexual fantasy mutates into the same person you want to stab in the heart, you have a problem.”

“When you start to really know someone, all his physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in his energy, recognize the scent of his skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That's why you can't fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and body but not your heart. And that's why, when you really connect with a person's inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.”
