“What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.”

“An ocean without unnamed monsters would be like sleep without dreams.”

“Sleep would be so welcome.A warm blanket of black to erase everything else. Sleep without dreams.”

“Sleep would be so welcome. A warm blanket of black to erase everything else. Sleep without dreams. I've heard people talk about the sleep of the dead. Is that what death would feel like? The nicest, warmest, heaviest never-ending nap? If that's what it's like, I wouldn't mind. If that's what dying is like, I wouldn't mind that at all.”

“I'm thinking I would like to dance in the rain with this person. I would like to lie next to him in the dark and watch him breathe and watch him sleep and wonder what he's dreaming about and not get an inferiority complex if the dreams aren't about me.”

“The ocean would be nothing but salt water without her by his side.”
