“I'm unhappy. I don't want to fall in love with you. It'll hurt far too much when it's over”

“I don't think I'm the type who falls in love. She was a friend. And we had good sex.”

“I don't know if I want a steady relationship, but I'm terrified of losing you.”

“I'm aware of what you've done for me, and I'm not ungrateful. I appreciate that you actually showed yourself to be greater than your prejudices and have given me a chance here. But I don't want you for my lover, and you're not my father.”

“And I guess that in some way I'm falling for you because you are who you are. It's easy to sleep with you because there's no bullshit and you make me feel safe. But this all started because I gave in to a crazy impulse. It doesn't happen very often, and I hadn't planned it.”

“Nobody can avoid falling in love. They might want to deny it, but friendship is probably the most common form of love.”

“I have pain in my hip and long walks are a thing of the past but I'm neither morbid nor senile. I'm not obsessed by death, but I'm at an age when I have to accept that my time is about up. You want to close the accounts and take care of unfinished business.”
