Quote by Clark West

“I hadn’t thought about prom, Bailey, or that car crash in years. I’d been under the assumption that therapy had wiped it from my mind completely. The search for Lizzie was doing something to me. Causing me to regress, in a way. Bailey Shepherd was no one to me, but at the same time, she was everything. My cause and value of life forever changed by a girl buried in a labyrinth of gnarled alloy and gasoline.”

“Go ahead, speak my name. For what's in a name? That which we call a rose would smell as sweet by any other name. Ha!

Do you have the eyes for truth? Perhaps you need the stomach as well, for my tale is not for those comfortable with lies.”

“Čuvao sam ih za onog koji će jednom doći i poželjeti da ih vidi. Ne znam zašto sam to činio. Možda samo zato što netko mora. Činilo mi se da je zbog nečega jako važno da to netko čuva. Mislio sam, doći će netko i vidite, više nema što da se čuva... i sad kad ste došli, mogu mirno umrijeti.. vi ćete bar reći nekom drugom da ovo postoji, da je ovdje nešto bilo, pa i ako ne ostanete vi sami, ljudi će se sjetiti, doći će netko drugi, vratit će se, i možda sve opet jednom oživi, možda sve opet bude... pa nije valjda cijeli svijet samo propadanje, rušenje, mrtvačnica kao ovdje, valjda se negdje nešto obnavlja, gradi, čuva, valjda ljudi još uvijek... Nije sve ovako?”
