The Raven, Nevermore
This is what happens when you wake up at 1.30 pm. :/
"What do you like about me?"
He laughed; she wondered, aghast, what had made her say it. He answered, "There's what I like about you..."
She did not know why he had looked at her so strangely; but she felt that he had seen some connection, which she could not grasp, between her body and something within her... (95)
"Why should you care about the others?"
"Because I like to understand things, and there's something about people I can't understand."
"What?"
"...They dislike me, not because I do things badly, but because I do them well." (98)
In her many months of his absence, she never wondered whether he was true to her or not; she knew he was. She knew, even though she was too young to know the reason, that indiscriminate desire and unselective indulgence were possible only to those who regarded sex and themselves as evil. (107)
That is all for now.
