"What is it the I'll want from you? Not love: that would be too much to ask. Not forgiveness, which isn't yours to bestow. Only a listener, perhaps; only someone who will see me.

By the time you read this last page, that- if anywhere- is the only place I will be."

"Also I could hear Amanda's voice: Why are you being so weak? Love's never a fair trade.
