5 " We are not going to have a zombie-versus-vampire war through the streets of Dublin, Nathaniel. "
6 " You really do want everyone around you to be happy, don’t you?” “Yeah, doesn’t everyone want that for their friends?” He smiled then, and shook his head. “No, Anita. No, they don’t.” “If you really care for people, you want them to be happy, Damian; otherwise you don’t actually care for them.” “You don’t think like any other woman I’ve ever met. "

13 " Your first lover gets a piece of your heart until you have enough therapy to take it back. "
