Quote by Gordon Korman

“Well, maybe you can keep it. But you definitely have to put in a catalytic converter.” “It’s on my list,” I assure her. “Right after a new floor for the back seat, just in case I ever have passengers.” Parker peers into the back. “Whoa, is that the ground?” “Air-conditioning,” I supply, tight-lipped. “Old-school.”

“When lovers say of some act that we might blame, "Love made us do it," notice the tone. A man saying, "I did it because I was frightened," or "I did it because I was angry," speaks quite differently. He is putting forward an excuse for what he feels to require excusing. But the lovers are seldom doing quite that. Notice how tremulously, almost how devoutly, they say the word love, not so much pleading an "extenuating circumstance" as appealing to an authority. The confession can be almost a Boast. There can be a shade of defiance in it. They "feel like martyrs". In extreme cases what their words really express is a demure yet unshakable allegiance to the god of love.”
