All I Quotes

“I won’t lie to you—I’ve walked around entire cities looking for Diana. It wasn’t my purpose for traveling, but it was my intention whenever I asked my pals if they wanted to walk around. She’s the reason my eyes scan crowds, why I buy certain show tickets, or attend daily mass. It has been hard. She left. And hell went out of business.”

“I won’t live forever, but my words will. To my generation and the ones after me, don’t forgive me for the foolish things I wrote or did; they were part of my becoming and part of God’s work in me. Don’t try to be like me, become who God created you to be and embrace it fully. I’m proud of you for finding yourself; few ever find the path meant for them.”

“I won’t play the game—I don’t bake cupcakes and make cooing noises over pictures of everyone’s kids. If a man doesn’t bake cupcakes and make cooing noises, you know what they call him? Senior Partner. Ben hasn’t made cupcakes once. But men expect you to be more thoughtful than they are—softer, more accommodating. And when you are paid less than your peers, or assaulted on a date, or lose a promotion, they’ll tell you it was your fault—you were too soft, too accommodating.”

“I won’t pretend to be a hotshot with a perfect life, but I know where I come from, and I’m proud of what I’ve achieved. I’ve seen more of the world than most, married the woman of my dreams, I’ve published a book, and built the body I envisioned for myself. Everything I’ve accomplished, I’ve done without handouts. Some will think I’m a loser; others will see me as a winner. It doesn’t matter. If my 20-year-old self could see me today, he would be amazed.”

“I won’t say I’ll be quick because that’s not a good look.” She giggled, and that sound released a coil of tension inside him. He turned and kissed her because to not do so would be a missed opportunity for joy. He found himself craving it all. Craving her. “What was that for?” she whispered when he let her up for air. “I’m glad you’re here.” She blinked in surprise. “Oh. I’m glad I’m here, too.”

“I won’t stand there and watch while men die behind me. We have to be better than that! We can’t look away like the lighteyes, pretending we don’t see. This man is one of us. Just like Dunny was. “The lighteyes talk about honor. They spout empty claims about their nobility. Well, I’ve only known one man in my life who was a true man of honor. He was a surgeon who would help anyone, even those who hated him. Especially those who hated him. Well, we’re going to show Gaz, and Sadeas, Hashal, and any other sodden fool who cares to watch, what he taught me. Now go to work and stop complaining!”
