Vincent to Kate: “The day I stop seeing you as one of the strongest people I know is the day I wake up human.
Well, spit on my empty grave – if it ain’t the attack of the Disney princesses!
I have to warn you that my bedroom isn’t the best place to stage an assault on me. It’s where I’m at my weakest, with my bed a mere twenty feet away.
Stop flaunting your impeccable language skills, Vincent, help the girl to her feet and let her take her leave.
I had feared that love would make me vulnerable. Instead I felt empowered.
We’re all lost souls here. It’s a good thing we’ve got each other.
Thank you for being here, my beauty. Mon ange. My Kate. Your utterly, Vincent.

Kate, I’ll say it like this. Vincent is my best friend. There’s not a person in this world I’m closer to. But for the past year, I have betrayed him in my heart every single day because I want for myself what he loves the very most.

Life is easier in black and white. It’s the ambiguity of a world defined in grays that has stripped me of my confidence and left me powerless.
Feelings change with time – or at least pain lessens with time; I know that from experience.
