“For the first time in my life, I found mirrors for myself. Daphne, and now him. It's bizarre to witness these parts of myself - whatever they are, for if they have names, I don't know them - separated.

“There are many forbidden things … But rarely does that mean we cannot make the choice to do them anyway. If the cause is right.”
