42 " This mainly annoyed me. I was on a mission to save my best friend; I had no time for some weird guy to be hot. "
43 " Wherever I go the music playing is always something I like. I never hear music I hate.""If you never hear it, how do you know what music you don't like?" I asked, not sure if I'd made any sense.

44 " The ruggers followed me all the way to the cafeteria. I felt like the Pied Piper, except that the rats probably weren't offering to share protein-rich snacks with him. "
45 " So you vampires living forever," I said. "You must need lot of hobbies to keep from going completely mad. My grandma swears by knitting. Do you knit, Francis?""I do not," said Francis."Ah," I said. "Do you crochet?" This time he didn't bother to answer. "
46 " Have you ever felt kind of..." She paused. "Detached from the world? As if you didn't fit in, and you weren't interested in what everyone else was interested in? As if you belonged in a whole different world?""Everyone feels that way sometimes," I said. "But you eat chocolate until the endorphins kick in, and the crazy thoughts go away." I grinned at her. "

48 " Without me, she can live a long, full life. She can be happy. I must leave her, in fact, for her own good.'I didn't much like the way Francis put that. Parents are always trying to make you do things for your own good. Not boyfriends. With boyfriends, the relationship is supposed to be equal. They're supposed to let you make your own decisions.But I couldn't tell Cathy about Francis's undead love-weasel ways. Anyway, this was more proof that Francis really was too old for. It truly was for her own good. Agreeing with Francis gave me a stomachache, so I sat there and made a face. "
49 " He's a vampire." I added. You know. In case Ty thought he was a really convincing vamposeur. "
50 " Let's examine what prize that is one more time; no more direct sunlight ever again, no more laughter. You get eternity, but you don't have the sense of humor to enjoy it! Also, vampires don't eat food. You never get to eat chocolate again. Ever. I'd rather die. "
51 " I'm frustrated about Cathy. She's torturing herself over this guy, and he's not worth it. I should tell her the truth. I really should.""Doesn't sound like she'd listen," Kristin said. "There are none so deaf as those listening to 'All by Myself' over and over and over again. "

53 " Pedacinho por pedacinho, desliguei-a. Vi luzes se apagando uma após a outra. Observei o espaço Cansino retroceder. Primeiro sumiram as galáxias, logo em seguida as estrelas, e então: trevas, somente o fundo das minhas pálpebras. "

54 " Rosa is pushing all the buttons. "
55 " Let’s not pretend there’s no difference in how much the men get paid for doing the exact same thing as the women. Not going to change a thing pretending like I’m an ac-tor. Which is why I’m going to make my own movies and television. Acting is for those who want to be exploited by misogynist assholes. "
56 " Have you ever felt kind of..." She paused. "Detached from the world? As if you didn't fit in, and you weren't interested in what everyone else was interested in?
