“Sometimes it is better to have someone you mistrust close to you, so that you can keep an eye on him - Chiron”

“Sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them.”

“Sometimes… you have to try to forget people you love just so you can keep living.”

““Doesn’t it scare you, having your death close by all the time?” said Lyra.
“Why ever would it? If he’s there, you can keep an eye on him. I'd be a lot more nervous not knowing where he was.””

“Depending on the situation, sometimes you can know a person better in ten minutes than someone you have crossed paths with all your life.”

“Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.”

“Is this one of those keep-your-friends-close-and-your-enemies-closer things?"
"I though it was keep your friends close so you have someone to drive the car when you sneak over to your enemy's house at night and throw up in his mailbox.”

“If you love someone, truly love them, you should never cause them pain. Never fill their eyes with something so close to grief.”

“Anyway, it doesn't matter how much, how often, or how closely you keep an eye on things because you can't control it. Sometimes things and people just go. Just like that.”

“I thought it was keep your friends close so you have someone to drive the car when you sneak over to your enemy's house at night and throw up in his mailbox,"
