1 " I haven't seen my father in nine years. There are no hugs. Hugs are luxuries of the weak, and the Yates family tree is carved from petrified wood.[Rose Yates] "
― Carter Wilson
2 " How do you define a vice, exactly? At what point does something cross the line between being a simple human frailty and a significant character flaw?[Rose Yates] "
3 " ...there's a rope still tethering me to social convention. The rope is well frayed and may only have the tensile strength of dental floss, but for now, it holds.[Rose Yates] "
4 " Listen to me,' my father tells him, still squeezing Max's bony hand. 'A handshake isn't a sign of friendship. It's an assessment. You versus the other guy. Who would win in a fight? That's what I want you to think about. You need to show the other guy that if you absolutely had to, you could tear his throat out. Now, squeeze like you mean it, son. "
5 " Distance is immeasurable. Only not as far as I want, but farther than I should.I reach the point where I capitulate to reason and turn around. That's the hardest part of all. Making that decision to come back. How much easier to let the night take me, swallow and digest me, and excrete me into the afterworld.[Rose Yates] "
