That's another sort of being haunted: starting something and never finishing it.

You could have kept on driving and never looked back. No one's ever had to stop for me. Or even hear me. Anyway, you did, and now I'm afraid the time for choice is behind us both.

I am a dead woman. Dead and insane.

You love someone. You don’t leave her to drown. And you don’t tell her she’s crazier than she already knows that she is!

You see, there are some people that one loves, and others that perhaps one would rather be with.
