Lena: [in her letter, after Kostas accuses her of being afraid to love him]

He's right, Car. I am afraid. There's a part of me that wants to let him in but then I feel myself put this wall up and I don't understand why. Maybe that's what strikes me most about Kostas. That despite everything he's suffered he can still look at life in the most uncomplicated way. I've never known that kind of faith. It makes me sad that people like Kostas and Bridget who have lost everything can still be open to love while I, who have lost nothing, am not.
