“Where are you off to in such a hurry?” His stunning green eyes bore through me. “A corpse
convention?” Even sweaty, Trevor was gorgeous.
“What are you running away from?” I retorted. “Your mirror?”

“You cannot drive with your eyes in the rear-view mirror… But dignity is difficult to maintain. Stamina requires constant upkeep. Repetition is boring. And you pay for grace.”

“I look in the mirror through the eyes of the child that was me.”

“You can run away from home
But you can't run away from your pain
I sit here alone
There's always someone else to blame.”

“All my life, since I came to the Institute, you were the mirror of my soul. I saw the good in me in you. In your eyes alone I found grace. When you are gone from me, who will see me like that?”

“Do you love me Hero?" His pale green eyes were full of torment. "Do you love me like I love you?”

“Sometimes, my heart hurts so much, I beat it with my fists. I try to run. But you cannot run away from this. You cannot run from it. Wherever you run, it waits for you. Even when you think you have escaped it, it is there, where you have run to. It waits for you, to ambush you. It is like those vines called lianas, those tropical creepers that grow around you and strangle you. You cut off one branch, but there is another that grows. You leap over the wall of one ghetto and find yourself in another ghetto.”

“Where did you come from baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into the here….
Where did you get your eyes so blue?
Out of the skies as I came through.”

“Cause maybe you're loveable.
Maybe you're my snowflake.
And your eyes turn from green to gray.
And in the winter I'll hold you in a cold place.
And you should never cut your hair,
'Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder.And you will never know
Just how beautiful you are to me.
But maybe I'm just in love
When you wake me up.”

“Dill?"
Mm?"
Why do you reckon Boo Radleys never run off?"
Dill sighed a long sigh and turned away from me.
Maybe he doesn't have anywhere to run off to”
