• “Have you ever loved a girl?” she asked.
• “I don’t think so,” I said.
• “I was in love once... I didn’t think about anything else, and everything seemed to make sense for a while. Maybe you should try that.”
• “But let’s forget about love for a second. How about just a real fucking connection? I don’t like the idea of a world where people just worry about taking care of themselves. Sometimes I think I hate people—I really do—but I’m not ready to give up on them yet. I mean, there has to be something, right?”
• “Something…?”
• “I don’t know. Something that means something.”
