“I can't tell if she's actually real, or if she's stopped caring if she's real or not. Or is not caring what makes a person real?”

“She looks like the real thing,
She tastes like the real thing,
My fake plastic love.
But I can't help the feeling,
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turned and ran.”

“And the more she could imagine this island, the less she liked the real world. The more she could imagine the people, the less she liked any real people.”

“Life's one great lesson was: Do not care. Not caring was a person's real protection.”

“She never said, "No, don't buy that trash," or "Pick a real book." She knew they were all real books. This is how great a librarian she was. And how great a mom.”

“She's anything but typical;
She's so unpredictable.
Oh but even at her worst it ain't that bad.
She's as real as real can be
And she's every fantasy.
Lord she's every lover that I've ever had.
And she's every lover that I've never had.”

“I want - I want - I want - was all that she could think about - but just what this real want was she did not know.”

“If she undervalue me,
What care I how fair she be?”

“People are always asking, does God exist? Of course she does. The real question: what is she like?”

“She means well, but she always manages to do the wrong thing. She has a real talent for it.”
