Nature has made up her mind that what cannot defend itself shall not be defended.

The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together.

But maybe you never really had someone, she thought now. Maybe, no matter how much you loved them, they could slip through your fingers like water, and there was nothing you could do about it.

Io non sono un duro. Non lo sono mai stato. In vita mia, se devo essere completamente sincero, credo di non aver mai preso una decisione. Non mi piacciono molto le decisione. Per decidere devi essere convinto, e io non sono convinto quasi di niente. Sono più un tipo da opzioni, ecco.
