1 " Because I think that sometimes, when you really love somebody, you don't ask them for the kind of compromise that is actually a sacrifice. The kind where one person gives up everything they have, everything they are, just so they can be with the other person. And you certainly don't expect that shit. You don't expect someone to prove their love. To love you that little bit more than you love them. "

5 " I don't know whether it's because I don't love him, or because I can't love him for demanding something like that from me. Or because he doesn't know me for squat. But I couldn't give him my whole life. And that's what he wanted from me. He wanted everything, and I wanted him to love me for what I had already offered. "
6 " I was engineered for comfort, not speed. "
7 " Why should a deal breaker for you be an acceptable compromise for me? "
8 " I shrieked incoherent, made up swear words as the pain stopped messing bent me over, and made me its bitch "
9 " I muscled through the moment with my usual delicacy. "
10 " So, like, Zeus was just some great big preternatural baby-daddy? "
