“You have confused me with someone who knows what’s going on.”

“You know what intimacy is? It's into-me-you-see… it's allowing someone to know who you are when you have all these defenses to keep them from knowing.”

“She knows what it's like to love someone who cannot love you back. Someone who needs you, holds you, yes, but someone who will never know that love is the knife in your heart.”

"Someone you used to know?" Alec interjected skeptically.

“You know what I want in a woman, Paul?"
"What's that?"
"A friend. A true friend; someone who knows me and loves me anyway. You know, like when I'm through putting my best foot forward, she's still there, still the same.”

“I don’t think you know what it’s like to have someone head over heels in love with you. What’s the good of a man who’s upside down?”

“Next time I fall in love it's going to be with someone who isn't an expert in fibbing."
"You're in love with me?"
"You didn't know that?"
"I did, but it's nice to hear."
"Scares the hell out of me.”

“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.”
