“Phaedra keeps saying she's being selfish. That she hates herself for it, but she does it anyway. She can't deny herself what she wants, even if it brings about her downfall and his." "And have you learned anything from our literary parallel?" "Not really, I keep thinking that she would do it all over again if there were a chance...a chance that it could go right. Even if 99 times out of a 100 the story ends badly, it's worth it if only once she gets a happy ending.”

“Man realisiert erst, wie klein man eigentlich ist, wenn man mit so etwas konfrontiert wird. Wir leben unser Leben, als stünden wir im Zentrum des Universums, aber wir sind nur winzige Stücke eines zerbrochenen Ganzen. Hier stand ich nun und machte mir Sorgen, wie ich das Leben nach dem College überleben sollte. Gott, es schien nicht einmal mehr richtig, hier von "Überleben" zu sprechen - nicht vor dieser Gedenkstätte an all die Menschen, die nicht überlebt hatten. Ich strich mir mit den Fingern durchs Haar und schlang sie hinter meinem Nacken ineinander. Ich wusste, dass ich Glück hatte. Dass ich regelrecht gesegnet war. Aber es war auch eine Menge Druck da.. mich zu bemühen, nicht zu vergeuden, was mir geschenkt worden war. Ich wollte etwas erreichen. Etwas lieben. Etwas sein. Aber ich wusste nicht, wie. Ich wusste nicht, was.”

“I think everyone does. Even happy people. They may not admit it to anyone, but I think they feel it. I think they close their eyes, or go for a run, or take a long shower, so that hey can forget just for a second who they are and what they have to do day in and day out. Living is hard. And every day our feet get heavier and we pick up more baggage. So, we stop and take a breath, close our eyes, reset our minds. It's natural. As long as you open your eyes and keep going. (Cade)”

“Ways to Prove that you love Nell De Luca 1. Tell her. Every day. Three times a day. As many times as it takes. 2. Never choose anything else over her. Not football. Not your own stubbornness. Nothing. 3. Be there whether she wants to go skinny-dipping or wants to study. Make sure she knows that she’s the adventure, not anything else. 4. Always tell her how amazing her food is (okay . . . that one is partly for you, too, because it means you get to keep eating her food). 5. Give her the best sex of her life (also works out pretty well for you). 6. Teach her whatever she wants to know, and learn from her, too. She’s a fucking genius. 7. Tell her she’s a fucking genius. All the time. When she doubts it and when she doesn’t. Just tell her. 8. Never walk away after a fight. Don’t. Fucking. Do it. 9. Prove you love her (preferably in bed, but that’s optional) once a day. Three times a day. As many times as it takes. 10. Be worthy of her. Not by playing football or pretending to be something you’re not. By being the man she makes you feel like you are. Strong and smart and kind and so damn lucky to have her.”
