Kreizler: It proves we don't know anything. God works between the lines.

Sara: I've learned from you. We can either let it haunt us for the rest of our lives, or we can accept it, and use the memory of our pain to help others.
Kreizler: I'm not sure the choice is ever entirely in our hands.
Sara: I disagree. If it weren't, we'd all be murderers.
I ain't asking for your charity. I'm just asking that you don't cross the street every time you see me.

Moore: Aren't you?
Sara: Yes, I suppose I am.
