“That night, we talked the way old friends do, with candor and ease.”

“Our emotions pull us in different directions. The stronger the emotion, the greater the pull. Feelings are not always practical, nor do they make any logical sense. That's just the way it goes.”

“When did you stop caring? he asked.When did you start noticing? she replied.”

“There was a feeling of inevitability when I met you. The sense that we would be together; that there would be a moment when you would look at me in a certain way, and we could cross the threshold from friendship into something so much more.We spoke once about lovers who kept finding each other, no matter how many times the world came between them. And I think I had to break your heart, and you had to break mine. How else could we know the worth of what we were given?I think you were always meant to know me a little better than anyone else. And our lives were fated to converge like some cosmic dance. I know there is terrible distance between us. But our bodies are made of celestial light, and we are hurtling through space and time, toward the most beautiful collision.”

“First love," said Ida with a sigh. "That's the one that kills you.”

“He deftly dealt his swiftest blow--I fell further than, I was meant to go.”

“I don't think all writers are sad, she said.I think it's the other way around—all sad people write.”

“Love is a game of tic-tac-toe,constantly waitingfor the next x or o.”

“Some pieces will sing to your present, others may echo of your past, and the rest could whisper of your future.”

“Her heart is played like well worn stringsIn her eyes the sadness singsOf one who was destined of better things”

“I loved you once and now I must spend my whole life explaining why.”

“Here are the things I want for you -I want you to be happy. I want someone else to know the warmth of your smile, to feel the way I did when I was in your presence.I want you to know how happy you once made me and though you really did hurt me, in the end, I was better for it. I don't know if what we had was love, but if it wasn't, I hope to never fall in love. Because of you, I know I am too fragile to bear it.I want you to remember my lips beneath your fingers and how you told me things you never told another soul. I want you to know that I have kept sacred, everything you had entrusted in me and I always will.Finally, I want you to know how sorry I am for pushing you away when I had only meant to bring you closer. And if I ever felt like home to you, it was because you were safe with me. - I want you to know that most of all.”

“Shrinking in a corner,pressed into the wall;do they know I'm present,am I here at all?”

“I did not know that it was love until I knew.”

“...but how could I have stopped him from taking what was already his?”

“Saving YouThe darkness takes him over, the sickness pulls him in; his eyes—a blown out candle, I wish to go with him.Sometimes I see a flicker— a light that shone from them; I hold him to me tightly, before he's gone again.”

“For me, that was the death of the word, or; because now, there is no other. It was the end of the word, and; for I love only you.”

“Without a doubt,I must read,all the booksI've read about.See the artworkshung on hooks,that I have only,seen in books.”

“One day you will be nostalgic for today.”

“It happens like this. "One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason, you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else--closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within them an angel--one sent to you for some higher purpose; to teach you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time. What you must do is trust in them--even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering--the reason for their presence will become clear in due time."Though here is a word of warning--you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isn't to save you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled; the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. They will be a stranger to you once more.-------------------------------------------------It's so dark right now, I can't see any light around me. That's because the light is coming from you. You can't see it but everyone else can.”
