The girls you meet are never very far from their worst-case scenario.

My inventory of people who can save me is down to just me.

We've taken the world apart but we have no idea what to do with the pieces.

When you go out with a drunk, you’ll notice how a drunk fills your glass so he can empty his own. As long as you’re drinking, drinking is okay. Two’s company. Drinking is fun. If there’s a bottle, even if your glass isn’t empty, a drunk, he’ll pour a little in your glass before he fills his own. This only looks like generosity.

How you're still always trapped. How your head is the cave, your eyes the cave mouth. How you live inside your head and only see what you want. How you only watch the shadows and make up your own meaning.

You're safe because you're so trapped inside your culture. Anything you can conceive of is fine because you can conceive of it.
