Quote by Donna Goddard

“There you are. Standing right here. I miss you. Standing here, talking strange words. I miss you. Strange words, telling me plans. I miss you. You speak of dreams and dream of things that go a million ways. There you are. But where is you? The you, I know you are. There you are. Standing right here. Talking strange words. I miss you. Strange words, telling me plans. You speak of dreams and dream of things that go a million ways. There you are. But where is you? The you, I know you are. The other you, the different one. The one that makes two ONE.”

“Никога не съм разбирал хората, които имат тази отчаяна нужда да казват това, което чувстват. Защо е нужно? Никой не те чува наистина и в най-добрия случай просто те вземат за луд. За онзи, който играе жертвата. Никой не се трогва от сълзите, никой не иска да види как умираш отвътре, защото, по дяволите, хората са егоисти. И не ти остава нищо, освен да се бориш сам. До последно, до болка и до кръв – винаги сам.”

“I’m fairly certain, Captain,” she said, “that the more you discover about me, the more you will dislike me. Therefore, let’s cut to the chase and acknowledge that we don’t like each other. Then we won’t have to bother with the in-between part.” She was so bloody frank and practical about the whole thing that Christopher couldn’t help but be amused. “I’m afraid I can’t oblige you.” “Why not?” “Because when you said that just now, I found myself starting to like you.” “You’ll recover,” she said. Her decisive tone made him want to smile. “It’s getting worse, actually,” he told her. “Now I’m absolutely convinced that I like you.” Beatrix gave him a patently skeptical stare. “What about my hedgehog? Do you like her, too?” Christopher considered that. “Affection for rodents can’t be rushed.” “Medusa isn’t a rodent. She’s an erinaceid.”
