“Maybe that's what we look for in the people we love, the spark of unhappiness we think we know how to extinguish.”

“I think people can be trusted to know what makes them unhappy. Maybe we don't always know what we want exactly, but we can usually say what we don't with a fair amount of specificity.”

“We don't know how far the ripples of our decisions go. We kill one, and maybe save a thousand. That's the code of the Fraternity. That's what we believe in, and that's why we do it.”

“No matter how much we love someone, or think we know them, we can never know what it is like to be inside them.”

“The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid.We fear we will not find love,and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we don't have love we will be unhappy.”

“Maybe you and I have to learn how to livewith what we saw. With what we know.”
