...lies can sound awfully pretty when a girl is in love with the person telling them. - Gabrielle Zevin

In a way, whoever you know in a certain place defines that place for you.

When she told me it was her favorite, it suggested to me strange and wonderful things about her character that I had not guessed, dark places that I might like to visit. People tell boring lies about politics, God, and love. You know everything you need to know about a person from the answer to the question, What is your favorite book?

No one will ever love me that much again.
