„То, что представлялось радугой, оказывается всего лишь игрой света.“

„Знаешь, как я это себе представляю? Плохие вещи будут происходить всегда. Но чудо состоит в том, что свет всегда побеждает тьму. Каждый раз. Ты можешь поставить свечку в темноте, но не можешь воткнуть темноту в свет.“

“She wanted him to tell her that when you love someone so hard and so fierce, it was all right to do things that you knew were wrong.”

“Some people don't know what to do with an act of kindness.”

“Love is the most dangerous craving of all, if you ask me. It turns us into people we aren't. It makes us feel like hell, and makes us walk on water. It ruins us for anything else.”

“What is right, in the end, is not always what it seems to be, and some rules are better broken.”

“Campbell" Julia says "Don't do this to me"
"Do what?"
"Push me off the same cliff twice”

“I think that when you live in a world with limits… when you've met everyone and seem everything you're going to see - you lose the hope that something extraordinary will happen in your life”

“something is always falling apart in me.”

“Well I talk a little about that, but I don't admit that from the beginning I knew we were not meant to be together.”

“Add love, and all the lines between right and wrong were bound to disappear.”
