There really is something irresistible about a lost cause.

I’m just going to do what I want now, and let the chips fall where they may.

I'd never understood how Carlisle was able to do that - ignore the blood of his patients in order to treat them. Wouldn't the constant temptation be so distracting, so dangerous? But now, I could see how, if you were focusing on something else hard enough, the temptation was be nothing at all.

The only reason I left was to protect you.

You make your own kinds of mistakes, and I’m sure you’ll have your share of regrets in life. But commitment was never your problem, sweetie. You have a better chance of making this work than most forty-year-olds I know. My little middle-aged child. Luckily, you seem to have found another old soul.

Sometimes, loyalty gets in the way of what you want to do. Sometimes, it’s not your secret to tell.
