1 " Good.” He grinned.“I was kind of worried you’d say no. It’s like so against the rules it’s not even funny.”I smiled. “Well. I have to say, Jack Diamond, you’ve demonstrated a deplorable lack of respect for all of my rules.”He chuckled. “Never met a rule I couldn’t break. "

2 " What? It’s ridiculous. Control your emotions. Can you imagine if criminals went around saying they fell into hatred or jealousy and that’s why they killed four people or robbed the bank? We act like love is this uncontrollable thing. But when it comes to anger and all of that ugly stuff, we’re expected to control it. We’re supposed to handle those emotions without hurting anyone. But throw out the word ‘love’ and everyone thinks all of the rules should go right out the window and who can help it if someone gets hurt? It’s absurd and it’s degrading, honestly, that we expect people to control themselves except for when it comes to wanting to sleep with someone. "
3 " People believed him. Everyone believed him. And when everyone believes something about you, it might as well be true. "
4 " I’m a little bit of a disaster, Hadley.”“Then, you’re my favorite disaster, Jack. "
5 " When you lose someone important, not everything makes sense. Being angry was easier than being hurt. Being alone was easier than letting people get too close. "
6 " Anyone who tells you that you should wait for that guy who makes you weak at the knees should be shot. "
7 " I like you,” he said. He smiled, his eyes twinkling. “You’re the best person I’ve met all year. "
8 " Just tell me, baby.”“Do not—”“I’m allowed to call you ‘baby’when I’m pretending to be a criminal. That’s how criminals talk, "
9 " To fall in love with someone who couldn't be worse for me." He shook his head. "I mean, Jesus Christ.You've got a lot of rules. And I've got just about none. But if I had to come up with one it would be: don't sleep with the pretty girl headed for Syria in six months. And if you do sleep with her, be damned sure you don't fall in love with her. But here we are. "
10 " I loathe that phrase.” “Seriously?” Andrew asked, with a smile. “The idea that people fall in love,” I said. “It sounds so sloppy. You just fell? Really? "
11 " I'm sorry," he said. He shook his head. "There are about a dozen girls who I had to say I was sorry to because I didn't love them. So I get what it's like for you right now.Believe me. I know. It's terrible. You feel guilty and awkward and like you failed to communicate something to me." He nodded. "But most of all you feel like you want to get the hell away as fast as possible. And I know what that feels like and I'll make this easy for you. Take off. Go home. It’s fine. I broke the rules and I got burned and that’s my fault. "
12 " You like beer? I got one for you, because I'm the type of person who makes assumptions. "
13 " The only people worth keeping around are the ones who drive you crazy. "
14 " You look like a troll doll, a fucking demented troll doll. "
15 " Complicated? You go to dinner with Andrew Brenner and you fuck me? No, that's not complicated," he smiled bitterly. "I mean this is fun and all, Hadley. This is really fucking great. But, don’t tell me you don't date people when all you really mean is you don't take me seriously. And don't tell me something is complicated when it's actually really simple. "
16 " I told her I'd made a huge mistake and that sparkles was definitely a letter. The kindergarten teacher was like, please don’t ever talk about the alphabet again. "
17 " Maybe they do. Maybe every stupid person you know cancels out every smart person you know and every good person you know cancels out every evil person you know.”“That’s right. That’s probably why everyone forgot about Jesus and Hitler, and just remembers their un-cancelled out contemporaries Average Jane and Average Joe,” I said. "
18 " He laughed and I did too, it was funny and horribly painful and deeply aching all at once. Like the laughter echoed and because of that you knew you were hollow. "
19 " Aw, I’m not going to give up that easily,” he smiled. “You’re the one who started it. You shouldn’t have kissed me like that if you wanted to be left alone. "
20 " The thing you learn when you grow up is how to make do with the choices you have. "
