“Men have no emotions; even if they have, it’s not as intense as the girls’; Vimal my father, unfortunately my Dad, being one of them. I’ve seen Mom break to pieces in front of my eyes. I couldn’t see that happening to me again.” Pg.22

“But then there were no more of intentions, no more revenge and the final film that crossed my mind, I had done it. I’d been successful in taking each of the revenges I wanted to.” Pg.191
