"At least with zombies I know my enemy and I know what to do: Aim and shoot. It's not so easy with people."
"Can I be trusted? Can you? I can be trusted with some things, but not all things, just like you."
"In our lives are special moments that live as their own, the rest is movement with the passage of time."
"Sometimes, despite how your heart feels, you have to do what you must in order to get the result you need. When it's impossible to walk away then you need to make it hurt and they will walk away for you."
"I can only miss the true and I can only mourn the brave. Cowards make it easy to let go because you're not losing anything worth having."
"In a fit of anger he had said to her, "You'll always be miserable," to which she thoughtfully replied, "Is that so? It's impossible to be miserable when you've known tragedy and hardship. Both strengthen and refine a person to the point where they may have moments of grief and sadness, but misery is known only to those who have a sense of entitlement...you know, people like you."
