41 " Posso controllare ciò che succede nel laboratorio di chimica. C’è una formula e un’equazione e so esattamente quale sarà la reazione quando mescolo una cosa con un’altra. Nella vita, non proprio. In amore, proprio per niente. Non importa quali elementi combini, non hai assolutamente idea di cosa accadrà dopo. Fa paura non sapere cosa accadrà dopo. Ma non sapere potrebbe anche essere la parte migliore "

54 " Together we ruled. Our realm unfurled, grassy campus and its tangle of parties. We marked the territory as our own, matchstick legs capped in sharp heels striking the ground, mouths witchy with lipstick and upturned with laughter. (...) When I did pick out a king, the crown was too heavy for his head. "
