- Rory: “Growing up isn’t merely a passage of time; it’s a collection of choices, of saying no when the heart wavers, of standing firm when the world swirls.”
- Lorelai: “Dreams nearing reality are like dawn breaking; there’s excitement in the light, but also the anxiety of a new day.”
- Jess: “Impulsivity is the language of the restless heart, speaking in bursts, in hopes, often unanchored and fleeting.”
