Mickey, you're just seeing what you want to see.

Ema

Bat Lady: Your Mr. V, as you so fondly called him, trafficked children. He sold a young girl for money.
Mrs. Friedman: Ashley Kent.
Bat Lady: Yes. And do you know how many children suffered and died because of his greed? Believe me, I did the world a favor.
Mrs. Friedman: Murder is still murder, Elizabeth, no matter how you wrap it up.

Everybody has secrets, Mickey.

Shira

Agent: Maybe you're not the child who needs protecting, Ema.
Ema: What?
Agent: Abeona, maybe you're the goddess.

Ema: What does it mean?
Agent: Abeona is the goddess of protecting children.
Ema: Why do I need protecting?
Agent: You tell me.

Oh, my god. I think I might hate you.

Ema [to Spoon]

This is the price we pay when we love others -- You get the wonder, the joy, all the good times... the memories you'll never forget. But you get the tears at the end, too. But he was worth it, right?

Kitty

That doesn't belong to you.

Octo Face

Henchman: We lost Ashley, but we'll find her.
Bat Lady: No need. You've done enough.

Bat Lady: There he is.
Mickey: What?
Bat Lady: Look at you. You've grown a lot, Mickey.
Mickey: How do you know my name?
Bat Lady: Listen to me carefully. Your father, your father, is not dead.
Mickey: What?
Bat Lady: He's very much alive, believe me.

Bat Lady: We will do what we must.
Sunglasses Man: But?
Bat Lady: I'm not sure everyone will survive.

Bat Lady: It takes strength to live in the darkness to remember that darkness exactly how it was. Not everyone can. Question is, can you, Mickey?
Mickey: I am ready.
Sunglasses Man: He's not ready.
Mickey: I am.

Harlan Coben's Shelter Quotes

Bat Lady: There he is.
Mickey: What?
Bat Lady: Look at you. You've grown a lot, Mickey.
Mickey: How do you know my name?
Bat Lady: Listen to me carefully. Your father, your father, is not dead.
Mickey: What?
Bat Lady: He's very much alive, believe me.

Nothing stays constant, Mickey. It's like I always told you, you can't get a hit if you never swing the bat.
