"Adaptation is the key to survival."
"Never let your pride get in the way of you asking for help when you are in desperate need of something. We have all been helped before in one way or the other. Life is about surviving. So you must do whatever that's morally justified you possibly can to survive."

"I was pure, before you defiled me, and don't you forget it. As though the concept of purity is anything more than the construct of selfish, competitive men stampeding toward the women to call dibs.

"I don't think very many people get converted by someone telling them they are terrible. No one I'd want to rub shoulders with in Heaven, anyway."
"Now that this destiny was about to happen, every instinct within him fought against it, realizing he had been fetishizing suicide."
"Jasmine had endured enough parochial schooling before middle school to have a residual attachment to the beautiful parts of believing, the certainty of knowing one is loved by something beyond comprehension, but also a niggling fear of those who believed too much in anything they could not touch. Believers were the sort to wave pictures of dead fetuses at her when she went to her gynecologist for a checkup."
"He fell in with the quiet revolutionaries on campus-those who felt that the disenfranchisement of half the population was ridiculous, those who did not accept that rights were predicated on skin tone-partly because he couldn't bring himself to avoid tempting trouble. He agreed with all their points, but understood that they were freer to make them purely because they had the money to build a wall around their experiences. That was what people did, wasn't it? Ignore the majority of experience and actively disengage from those telling them otherwise."
