“Flirting with madness was one thing; when madness started flirting back, it was time to call the whole thing off.”

“Still, it was no easy thing to flirt in German.”

“You're flirting with time baby
Flirting with time, but maybe,
Time baby, is catching up with you.”

“I'm no expert on girls, but when one tries to pinch you four times, I'm pretty sure that's flirting.”

“Turn that thing off, its driving me mad!”

“It’s how I fill the time when nothing’s happening. Thinking too much, flirting with melancholy.”

“Every time you try to flirt with her, a puppy dies.”

“People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.”

“I got better and Daisy didn't and I can't explain why. Maybe I was just flirting with madness the way I flirted with my teachers and classmates. I wasn't convinced I was crazy, though I feared I was. Some people say that having any conscious opinion on the matter is a mark of sanity, but I'm not sure that's true. I still think about it. I'll always have to think about it.”

“Things that matter are not easy. Feelings of happiness are easy. Happiness is not. Flirting is easy. Love is not. Saying you’re friends is easy. Being friends is not.”
