I ran to the door to our street, opened it, and called out into the night, "I shan't marry the prince." I turned back into the hall and ran to Char and threw my arms about his neck. "I shan't marry you." I kissed his cheek. He was safe from me.”

“Every bride is beautiful. It’s like newborn babies or puppies. They can’t help it.”

“It is a long way to Ireland, Janet, and I am sorry to send my little friend on such weary travels: but if I can't do better, how is it to be helped? Are you anything akin to me, do you think, Jane?”

“People get stupid when they're in love; people want what they can't have; and the years between ages twelve and eighteen always, always suck.”
