I’m not afraid of the world. I’m afraid of a world without you.

What cruel creatures men are. Our bodies tell us to love so many, but there’s room in our hearts for so few.

I like being around teenagers. It’s good for drama; they feel everything much more intensely than adults do, their lives are much more interesting than ours. They’re mutants. They have these weird bodies that are rebelling against them and changing every day. Teenagers always equal good drama.
