7 " He stops and turns to me. “Do you think people would stare if I threw you over my shoulder? Because I really want to do that. Then I can ogle your ass and just run.” The look in his eye is a little manic. For a second, I think he’s going to do it.

10 " Earlier, I was sitting on a bench on the banks of the Tiber, and there were all these people thereholding hands and kissing. Happy and in love.They made it seem so easy. Like giving their heart to someone else isn't the scariest thing in theworld.I still don't understand that.Don't they know the power they're giving to that other person?

And let's face it, ninetypercent of those couples won't still be together a year from now. Even six months from now.And yet, there they are, hugging and lip-locking, completely oblivious to the pain that's coming forthem.Unconcerned and trusting. "
11 " Manchmal bauen Leute Schutzwälle um sich auf, nicht nur um andere draußen zu halten, sondern auch, um zu sehen, ob sich irgendwer bemüht, sie einzureißen. "
12 " Sometimes people put up walls, not only to keep people out, but also to see who cares enough to tear them down. Understand? "

18 " without passion, life is meaningless, "
19 " I pick up the phone and jab the answer button.“Listen, dancing queen, I’m drunk, horny, and in no mood to hear about pretty men who aren’t going to fuck me. So for the love of my poor neglected vagina, order yourself another Cosmo and please fuck off.”There’s a pause and an uncertain cough. “I’m more than happy to fuck off, but if it makes a different, I wasn’t going to talk about dicks.
