My Favorite passages from Hangman:
p. 19: "Simon did what came naturally, what came from the heart. He hugged you when he saw you. He asked you how you felt, and actually listened to your answer. He told you he loved you, without inhibition, without shame, without any hidden meanings or agendas."

p. 217: "Give neither salt nor counsel till asked"
