"It was supposed to be a love movie-such a funny concept, for a two hour movie. Love wasn't supposed to be about a moment where you looked into a boy's eyes and felt the world spin from beneath your feet; when you saw in his soul all the things that were missing from yours. Love came slow and surefooted and was made of equal measure of comfort and respect."

"We all have things that come back to haunt us. Some of us just see them more clearly than others."

"She had never believe that you could see a heart break, yet here she was watching it."

"Another thing about heartbreaks. You could not watch one without feeling your own heart suffer a hairline fracture as well."

"You take your coffee black. You brush your hair a hundred strokes before you go to bed. You break out in hives if you eat raspberries. You like to shower after you make love. You know all the words to 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light' and you keep quaters in your pockets at Christmastime, to give to the Salvation Army Santas. What did I leave out?"

"I know you more about you than you do. Straight A's; dean's list, Phi Beta Kappa. You've turned cartwheels to get the toughest cases, and you've won nearly every one-even the ones that make you sick to think about.

You're perfectly willing to leave me with blue balls as long as it means you don't risk getting in over your head, because then you'd have a vested interest in the outcome, and frankly, we don't have a successful track rate. You're a classic type-A perfectionist, and you're unwilling to go out on a limb because it just might break underneath you."

"You hurt me once. Badly. I guess on some level I wanted to make you feel as rotten as I did back then."

"Sometimes when you think you've lost, you actually wind up coming out far ahead."

"If you weighed two hundred pounds and had grown hair on your chest, I wouldn't care. When I look at you, mo matter what I should be seeing, I'm picturing a who's still in college-because the minute I fell in love with you, time stopped."

"You can be happy for someone else's good fortune, but that doesn't mean you forget your own bad luck."

"It's hard to change the way you've always thought about things."

"If you're afraid of everyone leaving you, what do you do? You leave first, so you don't have to watch them walk away."

"You could not grow up Amish without knowing that eyes has weight, that stares had substance, that they could sometimes feel like a breath at your shoulder and other times like a spear right through your spine."
