“A tremendous rush ran through her body, as if every cell were electrified at once. She could taste his saliva and, as their tongues touched, she knew they loved each other as much as they ever had, a wonderful love, beyond space and time, impossible and unbearable.”
“There’s only one difference between love and mental illness. Both are distorted versions of reality, except with mental illness you don’t have to fuck the thing making you ill. Love was something he’d come to regard as a branch of pathology.”
“The only thing in my life that never changes is how much I love you”

“She just wanted John back again, in any condition. But it was too late, always too late, a million too lates.”
“Know what a sucker’s gap is? It’s when there’s a brief break in the weather. The shit stuff goes away and the sun shines. Everyone thinks the worst is over, but soon the shit is back, twice as bad.”
“I’ve found you again. I never stopped loving you, not ever. I swear to you, you were inside me like the beat of my own heart. I would have done anything to be with you now like this. We can’t be parted again. Promise me we’ll always be together. I love you more than life itself.”
“Every part of her felt the emptiness of life without John. She imagined she’d been skinned, and that ice-cold air was blowing over her flayed flesh. Staring at the white walls, she felt she was floating in some universe of her own, alone, damaged beyond repair, irredeemably cut off from love, from hope, from life itself.”
“Closing her eyes again, she relived every moment they had spent together. Especially, she remembered his kisses – sometimes tender, sometimes passionate, always blazing with love. She loved him then and loved him still. She would always love him. It was the only true thing in her life. Even though the Committee had done everything to destroy her love, it had survived in her heart. Her love for John was the one thing she could be sure of, the only certainty amidst all the lies that had been force-fed to her for God knows how many years.”
