"I really should be more specific with the things I wish for."

"I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with me. I'm missing the bits other people are made of - the parts that make them brave and unashamed. My parts are faulty or broken, jammed up, stuck with glue."

"They'll be having no picnics over in Iceland, I can assure you."

Mr Woodhouse always knows what's up

"Why, seeing the misery that a supposedly good marriage could make of a woman's life, should a strong-willed young female relinquish her newly gained independence?"

"I wonder whether I'm experiencing empathy. And if so, I wonder why it's chosen this moment to arrive."

"Sometimes in the darkness, you can see more clearly."

"I wonder how she'd describe losing something really important. Her mind perhaps? Or her freedom?"

"How did it come to this, being stuck in my mum's flat with an alien?"

"She had left me. And although I was waiting, I knew she couldn't come back."

"Is it possible I like making her laugh? What's wrong with me? I need to snap out of this."

"Perhaps when aliens promise you something, you shouldn't take it too seriously."

"If we get stuck in here and people start using my oxygen, I am definitely killing that kid first."

"The only thing that haunted me was grief."

"Funny how I always work better when I'm planning to kill someone."

"One lie, two lies, and all truth lies shattered."

"Anyone who describes murder and suicide as a funny turn gets my vote."

"I want you whole, with a fixed heart, and with death in your mouth."

You're 100% right Hannu

"Hate isn't a precision instrument."

"They took Vex because she is a Swiss army knife of culpability. A blame for every use."

"That is the accepted wisdom. My general unsuitability for human company."

"She cried loudly and helplessly like someone who has decided to devote the rest of her life to it."

"I think that once you pass a certain age, the world stops looking at you. Until one day, nobody sees you at all."

"If I close the window I won't hear the birdsong."

'Everything changes, if you wait long enough.'
'I don't want to wait.'

"Why had he done it? He must have thought, at some point, that he would catch something. What was it called, that feeling? He couldn't remember."

"Suddenly there is an edge to things. What yesterday was sure footing is now unstable ground."

This is very short compared to the others. Looming Christmas deadline?

"And what about my vegetable garden? They'd discover it's not just cabbage heads out there."
