And he was waiting for me to answer him.”

By turning sharply away, and thoroughly renouncing such vanities, flying to the Saviour's Cross, and clasping His Crown of thorns to your heart, so that these little foxes may not spoil your vines.

“How arrogant - how very far from humility - would be the self-satisfied, smug assurance that God, a tidy-up-after-us God will come and clean up our mess? Hope for a nanny God, who will with a miracle grant us amnesty from our folly - thats not aligned with either history or the text of the Bible.”
“How arrogant you are
To think your wretched Self so singular!
The disappointments of this world will die
In less time than the blinking of an eye,
And as the earth must pass, pass by the earth
Don't even glance at it, know what it's worth;
What empty foolishness it is to care
For what must one day be dispersed to air!”

“How as an actress are you meant to inhabit other people if you haven't lived?

How does that make me someone that people can relate to? I don't think it's possible really.”

“How astonishingly intimate the business of fiction is, more intimate than anything that issues from the psychiatrist’s couch or even the lovers’ bed. You see the soul, pinned and wriggling on the wall.”

“Oh. So your brother who’s raising you now is your parent! I’d like to see his face!”
“Sorry. He’s dead. A distant aunt is paying for my living expenses right now. She sends less when my grades go down. But thanks to her, I make sure to study. So I’m kind of glad.”
“I’m leaving! You bore me!”
“Huh?!”
“How can you talk about something like that with a smile on your face?? There must be something wrong with you!!”

“Thank you…Riruka! I knew you were a nice person!”
“You’re such an idiot.”
