The Best Rosa Fallows Quotes

Rosa: Some people never encounter death their entire lives. And you, you live with it - everyday.

John: Your questions. Yes I've taken medication before. No I've never disclosed this. Yes, Stevie helped me control my condition. No I've never been formally diagnosed. Yes, I'm aware this is a breach of police protocol. And when was the last time I spoke to a friend? I don't have any. The only one I have... had is dead, so... I'm a good officer. But in this world that's not enough. In this world, you have to be able to nod and smile and drink a pint, and say, "How was your day?" In this world no one can be different or strange or damaged. Or they lock you up. So what do I do know?
Rosa: You keep talking.

Rosa: Even if you were just colleagues, there was love, perhaps?
John: [laughs] Love. I've been trying to remember what that feels like, to be in love. It's been a while. For whatever reason, it has passed me by. The closest I got felt like food poisoning.
[Rosa smiles]
John: In books and films and plays, it's always so compelling, so complex. There should be more than one word for love. I've seen love that kills and I've seen love that redeems. I've seen love that believes in the guilty and love that saves the bereaved. What we will do for love. Die for it, even.
