Quotes by Henry Lee

“Sometimes you just don't like somebody””

“I'm not weak, I've just been strong for to long.””

“Yes, we have quite literally followed you to the end of the earth," Monty replied, "And there was only mild complaining””

“I knew you liked him," Henry said. "Ever since he tied your tie.””

“The truth is that Percy has always been important to me, long before I fell so hard for him there was an audible crash. It's only lately that his knee bumping mine under a narrow pub table leaves me fumbling for words. A small shift in the gravity between us and suddenly all my stars are out of alignment, planets knocked from their orbits, and I’m left stumbling, without map or heading, through the bewildering territory of being in love with your best friend.””

“Or perhaps that's just me assigning subterranean levels to every goddamn breath he takes.””

“It's a strange feeling, realising that other people you don't know have their own, full lives that don't touch yours.””

“To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.””

“Let's get one thing straight," I interrupt, jerking my arm out of his grip with such force that I nearly knock out the woman standing behind me. "You are not my father, I am not your responsibility, and I did not come here to have a list of my faults related from him or be condemned for who I associate with-not by you or that damned duke. So while it's been a jolly good time, being treated like a child all evening, I think I've just about had enough and I can make my own way from here.””

“I look down at his hand and laugh without quite knowing why. “You deserve some sort of reward for putting up with me.”“You’re my reward.”“Shit reward I am.”“Why do you think everyone needs some sort of recompense for being around you?” he says,his voice so gentle I almost start to cry....He wraps an arm around me and I can feel the light touch of his hand on the back of my neck, fingers stroking my hair."You don't owe me sex, you don't owe me anything. I'm with you because I want to be, and if we're together it'll be because we both want to be. And we're going to London together because we want to, and it's going to be a disaster, but that's alright because we'll have each other, and there's no one on this goddamn planet I'd rather be with than you.””
