41 " People ultimately don't care about the journey, if the end is worth it. "

42 " It’s hard to sever the mind’s ties, no matter how painful they are. "
43 " I’m not going to tell you it’s never too late,” I reply. “But, in my experience, it’s always the not doing that I regret more. "
44 " Tell me, Emika, what that’s like?” Now he sounds fascinated. “He’s done terrible terrible things. And yet I can still sense your connection to him.”I realise with a start that it’s because Sasuke was never old enough to understand what love really means. Not even the early, innocent feelings he had for Jax could possibly compare to how love actually is. He’d lost his humanity before he was ever able to experience that. My anger wavers as my heart breaks for him. "
45 " Life is always like that—you don’t know when you’ll suddenly claw your way out of your circumstances, or when you’ll go crashing back down into them. “I’m not going to tell you it’s never too late,” I reply. “But, in my experience, it’s always the not doing that I regret more. "

47 " Every problem has a solution. But after every solution, there's a new problem to tackle, some new challenge to take on. You don't stop after you solve one thing. You keep going. "

51 " I could convince myself of a lie so well that I’d sincerely think it was true. Do you know what that’s called? Self-deception, Emika. Lies are told more easily when you don’t see them as lies. My father said he wished he had my ability to believe wholeheartedly in something untrue, because if you’re able to believe anything, then you can believe your way into happiness. That’s why I’m alive, and he’s dead. Because my brain could connect that wire, and his couldn’t. "
52 " We fight for survival with everything we’ve got, as if the oxygen mask and the seat belt and avoidance of a square of chocolate cake might be the thing that saves us. That’s the difference between the real and the virtual. Reality is where you can lose the ones you love. Reality is the place where you can feel the cracks in your heart. "
