That's the thing with keeping up appearances, Rose; people will do anything to get one and anything to keep one.

Brilliance is impossible without a touch of insanity.

Sometimes, I have to look twice at you just to see if you__e actually real. That much beauty is dangerous.

I wanted a guy who made my stomach flutter, who was polite and respectful to everyone because he didn't think of anybody as beneath him, a man who did good things not because of what he__ gain but simply because it was the right thing to do. I wanted someone that cared about the injustices of the world and tried to help even if the issue didn't affect his life.

It's hard to believe someone who walks around commanding so much attention with his acute cockiness, hard muscles, and tattoos would ever let someone like me bring him to his knees-and make no mistake, I bring him to his knees. I bring him to his knees, hard.

If not for love, then what else?

You love who you love and that__ who you love.

Life comes at you hard and fast, it doesn__ slow for anybody. It weathers you, destroys you. It breaks down your mind, body, and soul until there__ nothing left. Then what?

....They're called "better halves" for a reason, I guess. You can't have one half that's worse than you. It'd be a disaster.
