“There are no monsters in the world, and no saints. Only infinite shades woven into the same tapestry, light and dark. One man’s monster is another man’s beloved. The wise know that.”

“She grows up feeling wrong, out of place, too dark, too tall, too unruly, too opinionated, too silent, too strange. She grows up with the awareness that she is merely tolerated, an irritant, useless, that she does not deserve love, that she will need to change herself substantially, crush herself down if she is to be married.”

“Muitas pessoas de meu mundo acham estranho, até trágico, que a autora de histórias de amor tão emocionalmente satisfatórias, aparentemente nunca tenha encontrado o amor; mas eu não. Por um lado, ela era um gênio: ardendo de desejo de criar obras de arte imortais, não uma casa confortável para marido e filhos. Por outro lado, ela escrevia sobre o mundo que conhecia e sobre o que sentia que atrairia os leitores. O enredo matrimonial é interessante especialmente pelo modo como ilumina o coração de seus personagens, pelo que eles aprendem sobre si mesmos a caminho do altar. Ela se preocupa com questões maiores: como distinguir pessoas boas de falsificações plausíveis; o que uma vida moral exige de nós; o problema de ser uma mulher inteligente em um mundo que não tinha lugar para ela.”

“Emira realized that Briar probably didn't know how to say good-bye because she never had to do it before. But whether she said good-bye or not, Briar was about to become a person who existed without Emira. She'd go to sleepovers with girls she met at school, and she'd have certain words that she'd always forget how to spell. She'd be a person who sometimes said things like, "Seriously?" or "That's so funny" and she'd ask a friend if this was her water or theirs. Briar would say good-bye in yearbook signatures and through heartbroken tears and through emails and over the phone. But she'd never say good-bye to Emira, which made it seem that Emira would never be completely free from her. For the rest of her life and for zero dollars an hour, Emira would always be Briar's sitter.”
