“As long as I have to be,” Katherine replied, glaring at him, “I may be an American but you do not have to be so rude.”

❛ Only you can find it. And if you do, it will set you free. ❜

❛ This was never my story. ❜

❛ Don’t screw it up, okay? ❜

❛ You’ll never have me. NEVER. ❜

❛ Everyone has an angel. A guardian who watches over us. ❜

❛ Don’t let appearances fool you, they can be as fierce as any dragon.  ❜

❛ Who drives us mad? Lashes us with whips and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? ❜

❛ Who teaches us what’s real and how to laugh at lies? ❜

❛ Who decides why we live and what we’ll die to defend? ❜

❛ Who chains us? And who holds the key that can set us free? ❜

❛ You have all the weapons you need. Now fight. ❜

❛ Did you lose your fight, huh? ❜

❛ This can’t be. We did everything right. ❜

❛ I’m gonna escape from here and I’m gonna be free. ❜

❛ Well, send me a postcard from paradise. ❜

❛ If you don’t stand for something. You’ll fall for anything. ❜

❛ You are safe, it’s all safe. Now relax, and just let go. ❜

❛ You control this world. Let the pain go. Let the hurt go. Let the guilt go. ❜

❛ I try to give you a good life. I try. I do. And all I ask for in return is just respect. Honesty. A give and take relationship. ❜

❛ No, no, no. No one’s buying that, honey. ❜

❛ There is nothing you can do. ❜

❛ It’s too late to play the good guy, it is far too late! ❜

❛ This is a mistake. Please don’t do this. ❜

❛ I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to say anything! I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. ❜

❛ You have anything to say? Anything?  ❜

❛ You know what sweetheart? It’s okay, it’s okay. ❜

❛ It’s a shame I couldn’t do more. I wasn’t given much time, you see. ❜

❛ To be honest with you, I’ve wondered myself whether or not it is right. ❜

❛ I’ve been doing this for quite some time. ❜

❛ For those who fight for it, life will have a flavour the sheltered will never know. ❜

❛ Don’t write a check with your mouth that you can’t cash with your ass. ❜

❛ There are armed guards everywhere! ❜

❛ We’re already dead. ❜

❛ When reality is a prison, your mind can set you free. ❜

❛ You are afraid. Don’t be. ❜

❛ I lost everyone I loved. And then they locked me away. With no where to hide from the pain. ❜

❛ Oh, and one more thing – Don’t wake the dragon. ❜

❛ We can deny angels exist; convince ourselves they can’t be real. But they show up anyway, at strange places and at strange times. ❜

❛ This is a joke, right? ❜

❛ We don’t keep things here that have no purpose. You see, your fight for survival starts right now. ❜

❛ Go out and live a normal life. Love, be free, you have to live for all of us now. ❜

❛ You’re the only one of us who ever had a chance out there. ❜

❛ There has to be another way. ❜

❛ Have you ever wanted to just take something back? You know, something you said, something you did? ❜

“As long as I have to be,” Katherine replied, glaring at him, “I may be an American but you do not have to be so rude.”
