I'm not really liking the writing style, but I'm just 4% in so I hope it's just a matter of getting used to it.

"When something was strange, everyone thought they had the right to come stomping in all over your life to figure out why."

"It's not always about the things you've done, or the mistakes you've made. It's about the people, and what we're willing to do for one another. The sacrifices we make."

"Wasn't that the point? Wasn't that the great answer to the mystery of life? To make the most of what you have while you have it, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly."

"But isn't that life? We second-guess everything because it's in our nature. People with anxiety and depression just tend to do it more."

"Losing something is painful. Sometimes, finding what we've lost is just as agonizing."

"When you do the right thing for the wrong reason, no one praises you. When you do the wrong thing for the right reason, everyone does, even though what is right and wrong depends entirely on the story you're living in. And no one says they need recognition or praise or love, but we all hunger for it. We all want to be special."

"You're making a face at the knave," the gargoyle said, startling me. He was playing with the fuzzy seeds of a dandelion, peering around me at Rory. "Why are you giving him the cold mouth?"

"It's 'the cold shoulder,' gargoyle."

He blinked. "What would he want with your shoulder?"

"And maybe that's it: You do things in the moment for the person you hope you might be two years from now."

"But what else can a person do except keep trying?"

"Pamela, it is all about moving on. Saying goodbye to whoever you thought you were, whoever you thought you would be."

"But maybe that's the trick night performs. Darkens everybody, highlights the nothingness around them. Maybe in the dark, everyone seems more alone than they are."

I was not prepared for how emotional this is making me feel.

I was not prepared for how sad this is going.
