“It was easier to be brave when someone needed your protection.”

“I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.”

“One of the ironies of courage, and the reason why we prize it so highly, is that we find it easier to be brave for someone else than we do for ourselves alone.”

“When you love someone as much as that, you don't believe they can die. You think your love protects them.”

“I wanted to talk to someone. But who? It’s moments like this, when you need someone the most, that your world seems smallest.”

“What matters is that someone—that you—know me that well. When a person can see into your soul, it's hard. It forces you to be open. Vulnerable. It's much easier being with someone who's just more of a casual friend.”

“When we find someone who is brave, fun, intelligent, and loving, we have to thank the universe.”

“Things are always given to us when we need them… You just have to decide if you're strong enough, brave enough, to seize it and make it
yours. (Acheron)”

“I thought you needed to be tougher. But I've been thinking that protecting somebody by hurting them before someone else gets the chance isn't the kind of protecting that anybody wants.”

“Because sometimes not liking someone is easier.”
