“The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around”

“Only sorrow lay there. And something like understanding. Like she saw him, as he'd seen her in that shooting gallery, marked every broken shard and didn't mind the jagged bits.”

“What's a horizon?' Lazlo asked, straight-faced. 'Is it like the end of an aisle of books?”

“You might come up with a solution to the problem that doesn't involve destruction."
Drave scoffed. "Doesn't involve destruction? That's like me asking you not to be a mealy-mouthed poltroon."
Lazlo's eyebrows shot up. "Poltroon?"
"Look it up," snapped Drave.
Lazlo turned to Ruza. "Do you think I'm a poltroon?" he asked, the way a young girl might ask whether her dress was unflattering.
"I don't know what that is."
"I think it's a kind of mushroom," said Lazlo, who knew very well was poltroon meant. Really, he was surprised that Drave did.
"You are absolutely a mushroom," said Ruza.
"It means 'coward,'" said Drave.
"Oh." Lazlo turned to Ruza. "Do you think I'm a coward?"
Ruza considered the matter. "More of a mushroom," he decided. To Drave: "I think you were closer the first time."
"I never said he was a mushroom."
"Then I'm confused.”

“But she was the one person I could be myself around and never feel judged. The one person that I knew would always pick up the phone, or call me back. She was the one person who made me feel brave because no matter what happened, no matter how bad or embarrassing or shitty it was, I knew that I had her in my corner. That if it all went to Hel, I could talk to her and it would be fine.”
