"The Earth is at peace. There is no hunger. There is no violence. The environment is healed. Honesty, courtesy and kindness are practiced by all. Our world has never been more perfect. Only it is no longer our world. We've been invaded by an alien race. They occupy the bodies of almost all human beings on the planet. The few humans who have survived are on the run."
"- Barely a bone not broken or organ ruptured. I cannot tell you why she is not dead.
-This one wants to live""I don't know how much you know about this new world. Almost every human has been successfully occupied. As with the other planets you've inhabited we do not change this world, but experience it, and perfect it."

"Melanie, you don't have to. We could be the last ones. Even if we are the last man and woman left on Earth, you still don't have to."
"You don't know that. You don't know if we've got months or days. We could be taken at any moment. We only have this, now."
"These humans are not like the other bodies you have inhabited. They have unusually strong physical drives. You have to be vigilant. They were brutal, the humans. Killing each other. Killing their planet. They're lucky they survived as long as they did."
"After everything you've seen, how can you still help them?"
"That was no trick. We do not lie. We trust each other."
"You take the body, the feelings come with it, it's a package deal."
"This ain't a democracy. It's a dictatorship. It's a benign dictatorship, but it's a dictatorship just the same."
"I wonder if a love lije that might play on someone's mind, heart. It might het somebody to do something they wouldn't ordinarily do."

"He sees everything. He's not crazy. He's a genius."
"I wonder a lot about a lot of things."
"They're not stars. They're glowworms. You have to be quiet or they get scared and stop shining."

"I have not completed one full revolution of your sun, yet I have found that Earth is more beautiful and harder than any place I have ever been."
"-You tried to kill me and now you're protecting me?
-Strange world, isn't it?
-The strangest""I haven't shot anyone in a long time. I kinda miss the thrill of it."
"You know, it's not really me you like, it's this body. You couldn't care for me. If you could hold me, me, in your hand, you'd be disgusted. You would crush me."
"Strange to be in a body that won't let me use it."
"You're angry when I kiss a man you do love and angry when I kiss a man you don't. It's very confusing."
"You know, there are easier ways to die than starving yourself to death."
"All you're going to do is keep murdering more of both of us."
"I can't stay here. Not with you slaughtering my family in the next room"
"I've walked out of plenty of stores without paying. They were happy about it once."
"You die, and the danger dies with you"
"We souls can leave the same way we arrived."
"You have always tried to extract it by force. The secret is, you do nit remove it, it removes itself. You coax it out. You have always seen it as the enemy. It can feel the hate. It can only be captured by kindness, love."
"Sometimes we have to make sacrifices"
"By the time I got to the closest planet, you, Jamie, Jared, Ian, everyone in this world I care about would be long dead. I don't want to go on without you. I love you, Mel."
"You are the purest soul, human or not, that I've ever met. The universe will be a darker place without you."
"Be happy for me that after living so many lives, I finally found something to die for."
"You haven't killed a body, you've given it life."
"Our world isn't like the other worlds they came to. The way they see it, human beings are just so alien. Bit if one of them can find a way to live with one of us, I wonder."
"I guess you never know where you're gonna find your home."
