"Sometimes when we're in love, we take the facts and spin them into pretty stories. But it's a dangerous thing to do--because one day, like it or not, you're going to see the world as it really is. You find out people aren't always who you want them to be. And if you're not ready for the truth...well, let's just say it can come as a bit of a shock."

But you have to give me the benefit of the doubt."
"Quiet people keep thier secrets to themselves. That's what makes them interesting...and usually worth the wait."
"You big crybaby," I whispered into his ear. "Now you know why your mom warned you not to hit girls. Sometimes they hit back."
"You’re never ready for the truth. No matter how much you think you know, it always takes you by surprise."
