“I'm sorry," I say. "About being a bit odd sometimes, at school."
Camille shakes her head. "You really have to stop saying that. Incessant apologizing is never an attractive trait."
"You're right. The thing is, I really am quite bad, you know, with people."
"Ah, them. People. Yes, it's hard."
"And I have a lot, sometimes, going on in my head."
"Join the club."
"There's a club?"
"No. There are too many people in clubs. But it's fine. Be how you want to be.”

“The brain of a psychopath is different from most, I've weighed up my chances. Eighty per cent genetics, twenty per cent environment. Me. One hundred per cent fucked.”

“And, just as it only takes a moment to die, it only takes a moment to live. You just close your eyes and let every futile fear slip away. And then, in this new state, free from fear, you ask yourself: who am I? If I could live without doubt what would I do? If I could be kind without the fear of being fucked over? If I could love without fear of being hurt? If I could taste the sweetness of today without thinking of how I will miss that taste tomorrow? If I could not fear the passing of time and the people it will steal? Yes. What would I do? Who would I care for? What battle would I fight? Which paths would I step down? What joys would I allow myself? What internal mysteries would I solve? How, in short, would I live?”
