“In the end, you have to choose whether or not to trust someone.”

“Lover? I don't know. I don't know if she loves me. I don't know if I love her. All I can say is, she's the one I think about. All the time. She's the voice I want to hear. She's the face I hope to see.”

“He loved her, of course, but better than that, he chose her, day after day. Choice: that was the thing.”

“This is what happened in love. One of you cried a lot and then both of you grew sarcastic.”

“You can't outwit fate by standing on the sidelines placing little sidebets about the outcome of life. either you wade in and risk everything you have to play the game or you don't play at all. and if u don't play u can't win.”

“All hope abandon, ye who enter here.”

“Dead people can be our heroes because they cant disappoint us later; they only improve over time, as we forget more and more about them.”

“Maybe that's what it all comes down to. Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all.”
