Quotes

Conor : Your stories never made sense to me.
The Monster : Because humans are complicated beasts. You believe comforting lies, while knowing full well the painful truth that makes those lies necessary. In the end, Conor, it is not important what you think. It is only important what you do.
Conor : So what do I do?
The Monster : What you did just now. You speak the truth.
Conor : That's all?
The Monster : You think it's easy? You were willing to die rather than speak it.
-
Conor : What do I do?
The Monster : Now all that is left is for you to speak the simplest truth of all.
Conor : I don't want you to go.
Mum : I know my love.
Conor : I don't want you to go...
Conor : How does the fourth story end?
The Monster : It ends with a boy holding on tight to his mother. And by doing so... he can finally let her go.
-
The Monster : Here is the end of the tale.

The Monster : I will be right here.
