The line between true self and feigned self is blurred on all sides. Which I think is a rather handy metaphor for falling in love.
Gayle Forman

You don’t share me. You own me.
Gayle Forman

There were signs. Probably more of them than I ever caught, even after the fact. But I missed them all. Maybe because I wasn’t looking for them. I was too busy checking over my shoulder at the fire I’d just come through to pay much attention to the thousand-foot cliff looming in front of me.

Whoever said that the past isn't dead had it backward. It's the future that's already dead, already played out.

If I stay. If I live. It’s up to me. All this business about medically induced comas is just doctor talk. It’s not up to the doctors. It’s not up to the absentee angels. It’s not even up to God who, if He exists, is nowhere around right now. It’s up to me.

Because for that day, I really did become Lulu. Maybe not from the film or the real Louise Brooks, but my own idea of what Lulu represented. Freedom. Daring. Adventure. Saying yes.

My stomach lurched, an appetizer before the full portion of heartache I had a feeling was going to be served at some point soon.
Gayle Forman

How can it be so unclear to her when it's like the fingers on my hand to me?

Even going to jail would be easy compared to losing you.
Gayle Forman

It's just accidental, just temporary. Until the next accident sends me somewhere new. That's how life works.

It's nice, this. The canal. He looks at me. You. I'll bet you say that to all the canals.

Closure. I loathe that word.
