Quote #4
Love is a luxury. It's something that people are allowed to indulge in when they're not simply trying to survive and keep other people alive. (29.12)
Well, that's not always the case. Love can actually be a driving force when it comes to survival. Pressia puts survival in one corner and love in the other corner here. But what she should actually do is put them both together.
Quote #5
Her mother didn't always do what was rational and logical. She was driven to make choices because she listened to her heart, not her head. Eventually, those choices killed her. (41.18)
The problem with listening to your heart can be that your heart tricks you. But so does your head, so really, Pressia's statement traps us in between a rock and a hard place.
Quote #6
Your father can be the person you most hate and most fear, yes, but deep down you expect that he'll be the one to save you. (48.86)
So his father is a murderer, and he wants to kill his own son. Yet, Partridge still desperately expects Ellery to love him. Oh, dear. Sometimes, it's just not meant to be.
