Quote by Karol Ruth Silverstein

“It dawns on me that this is probably the first time I've hugged my dad since he moved out, which just makes me hug harder, and suddenly there's so much I want to ask him - like: Wasn't there some way he and Mom could have worked it out and did he miss me before I came to live with him and does he still love me even though he hates Mom now? But I don't ask him any of that because if I did, then I'd definitely start crying and I may not be able to stop - ever. So I just keep hugging.”

“It reached a point where the paranoia was getting to me. Everywhere I looked, it seemed like people were hanging out, wanting to date, hooking up, wanting to hook up—it was relationships, relationships, relationships everywhere. Guys checking out girls, girls checking out guys. Dudes checking out dudes, chicks checking out chicks. Fuck! That’s what being a teenager was all about.”

“You need to just fuck already. Get it over with before you kill each other." "Ah, always the romantic, Emmy," Joey says. "I'm so serious," she drawls in a drunken slur. "I don't know why you didn't pull the trigger last night, girl." "I tried!" I say. "But now he says I have to be sober if I want to hook up with him, and being sober on the road is for pussies." "Hey, pussies are tough," she says. "You should've seen the thrashing mine took last night." "Nope," I say. "No thank you.”

“Întotdeauna va exista un el căruia să vrem a-i oferi lumea, un el al cărui zâmbet va fi antidotul pentru toate depresiile noastre. Un el care nu ne va înţelege isteriile, dar ne va îmbrăţişa cu multă iubire. Un el care ne va privi dimineaţa când dormim şi ne va săruta pleoapele fără să ştim. Un el care va şti să ne arate cât de simplă e iubirea, un el căruia îi vom da dreptate, în final. Femeile şi dragostea: o poveste fără sfârşit, o poveste în care noi suntem eroinele, iar ei sunt cei care ne salvează, la nesfârşit.”

“Cascada părea ruptă dintr-o poveste, uşor ascunsă de desişul pădurii. În spatele ei se ascundea o mică grotă. Numai un „obişnuit al locului“ ar fi putut să ştie de existenţa ei. Iar Brian ştia. Au intrat acolo. Arăta ca un cuibuşor de nebunii. Ea ar fi vrut să spună ceva, dar a tăcut. Oare câte femei a mai adus aici? Oare câte s-au lăsat impresionate de farmecul lui?”

“People slaving away at those jobs for a damn pittance, and still they were asked to do even more, always more, endlessly more. Many worked for five people’s worth of duties, and all they got in return was just enough money to pay rent and buy food to survive another month. I didn’t even dare imagine what it felt like for them to have dreams, desires, longings – when they could barely breathe under that weight.”
