Sometimes in life, we need a few bad days in order to keep the good ones in perspective.
There was before you and there was during you. For some reason, I never thought there would be an after you.
Just because someone hurts you doesn’t mean you can simply stop loving them. It’s not a person’s actions that hurt the most. It’s the love. If there was no love attached to the action, the pain would be a little easier to bear.
It stops here. With me and you. It ends with us.
In the future… if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again… fall in love with me.
Happiness isn’t some permanent thing we’re all trying to achieve in life, it’s merely a thing that shows up every now and then, sometimes in tiny doses that are just substantial enough to keep us going.
It proves that time, distance, and devastation allow people enough opportunity to craft villains out of people they don’t even know.
Grudges are heavy, but for the people hurting the most, I suppose forgiveness is even heavier.
You’re only human. And as humans, we can’t expect to shoulder all of our pain. Sometimes we have to share it with the people who love us so we don’t come crashing down from the weight of it all.
Words can sometimes have a far greater effect on a heart than a kiss.
There isn’t a doubt in my mind that we could be perfect for each others life. It’s our lives that aren’t perfect for us.[to Sydney]
There is no such thing as bad people. We’re all just people who sometimes do bad things.[repeated often in the rest of the book]
