Dad always says that if you’re going to do something wrong, at least be smart enough not to let anybody see you do it.

“She'd known it her whole life. It was the one thing she was certain of. That someday, everyone she loved would die. Everything she loved would crumble to ruin. It was the price of life. It was the price of love. It was the only ending for every true story.”

“I suppose when you hate your life so much, you just allow yourself to be vulnerable, just like an open wound not tended to. You put yourself at risk for infection and the problem with infection is that it spreads. It takes over more than you ever thought was possible. Just like when someone sees your vulnerability, they find that wound and use it as a starting point to consume you.”
