"It's all well and good to look back after the fact and see what we should have done, but we rarely know what path is best when we take that first step."
"We never can just stop time. Or take moments back. Life doesn't work that way, does it?"
"I'll be damned if I apologize for the choices I've made. They were hard decisions, but I had good reasons for making them."
"If what he said was the truth, it broke her heart. If what he said was a lie, it was broken anyway."
"Torture can be a two edged sword."
"It's your way of fighting. You refuse to engage and then you can't lose. ...but you have to know when you close those doors, you don't leave anything for the other person."
"I had to work so hard to find myself again, Alexandr." There was pain in her voice. "I was so lost without you. You left me raw and wounded and trapped in a dark place with no windows or doors. I didn't know how to live without you. I didn't know how to smile or feel or be. It took almost two years before I really accepted that it was over and I had to find a way to go on. I made myself strong. I'm alive again. I can wake up some mornings and be happy. I can look at the ocean and find peace again. Now you're asking me to risk everything all over again and I'm not certain I could survive if it all came crashing down."
"I realized I love him just as much or more than I did four years ago. That I'll never live with him" She raised her head to look at her sisters with haunted eyes. "And I don't know if I can live without him."
"You can't be anything but who you are. I wouldn't love you the same if you stopped being you. How do I change enough to accept that ruthless streak in you."
"The real question is, can you love the real me? Not the perfect person you want me to be, not that image you had of me, but who I really am."
"We never can just stop time. Or take moments back. Life doesn't work that way, does it?"
