"Break off this stupid engagement, close yourself in your flat, alone, and grow up. You don't need anyone – you don't need me, Giry, Raoul, anyone. You're strong enough to survive on your own. You just have to learn how."
“You do realise, of course, that it does not have to be this way, right? You are the one who is in control of your own life. You can change each and every thing, right now. You can drop everything, leave the country and become an incredible fashion designer in Milan. Or a prima ballerina in Moscow. Hell, you could be a University professor in London. If you want to, you can do anything. You just have to believe in yourself and finally acknowledge that you don’t depend upon other people. You’ve managed to free yourself from me and it’s an awe-inspiring deed. If you fought the monster and won, the world is at your feet.”
Christine nods and looks Erik in his eyes. He’s staring at her with such confidence and with such faith in her, it takes her breath away. She’s never felt safer than she does now.
And stronger; she’s never felt more capable of standing up for herself than now.
