“Not everyone's life will be a great love story.”

“I remain exquisitely still. Anytime the eagle of another heart soars, whatever you are-mouse, toad, snake- don't move. From such great heights, it might not see you.”

“She wants another spin on the wheel of fortune? This was always my problem with her: I could never tell the difference between the feeling of love and the feeling of danger.”

“Not everyone's life will be a great love story.”

“Opinions are like ugly children … despite it all you love your own.”
