“My goal, once upon a time, was to succeed. I didn’t realize that success wasn’t grades or scholarships or achievements, but the people I was lucky enough to have in my life.”
“Because love is the ultimate goal. It’s not the one I had strived for, but I was lucky enough, so damn lucky, to achieve it.”
“You’re the only one for me. My sun rises and sets on your smile. My heart beats because yours does.”

“Wishing was easy, but believing was hard.”
“You know only what you know, and learn the rest along the way.”
“Romantic heroes are the greatest cryptids of all.”

“Wounded male pride has caused the world more destruction than the Black Death and the Great Flood put together.”
“Every creature has a soft underbelly. I'm going to find yours."
"Search me if you like, Your Ladyship. I warn you, it's not softness you'll find.”
“Did you just compare me to a dog?” “I know, I’m not certain you deserve the compliment, either.”

“I read you like you were my favorite book, Rosie. Like I’ve memorized you.”
“Remember to pick the boy that will plant a garden for you instead of just getting you the flowers.”
“Everything I didn't believe of myself, everything I couldn't possibly think you saw in me, was there. I saw myself through your eyes. You loved me.”

“Teachers, instructors, and coaches didn’t support me. When we took the presidential fitness test, the entire class would be changed out of their gym clothes and gossiping before I finished running the mile. It was easier for me to give up and say that sports weren’t for me than to fight the system that kept telling me the way I looked and the way I performed would never be good enough. No one seems to care if you ran your personal best if you’re the last in your class.”

“Write me a story where there is no ending, Kitt. Write to me and fill my empty spaces.”
“I would love to see you burn with splendor. I would love to see your words catch fire with mine.”
“Their souls weren’t mirrors but complements, constellations that burned side by side.”

“I do what I want, when I want. And I don’t give a shit what people think about me.”
“All my senses are filled with her—her sounds, her smell, her touch. Her.”
“I think it takes a certain level of trust to sit next to someone and not feel the pressing urge to babble away.”

“I think just because you can't keep something doesn't mean it wasn't worth it. Nothing lasts forever. What matters is what we take with us.”
“You can't make people love you. But you can give the love you long for out to the world. You can be the love you wish you had. That's the way to be okay. Because giving love to other people is a way of giving it to yourself.”
“I wondered if having faith in yourself was just deciding you could do it - whatever it was and then making yourself follow through.”

“It takes courage to let down your armor, to welcome people to see you as you are. Sometimes I feel the same as you: I can’t risk having people behold me as I truly am. But there’s also a small voice in the back of my mind, a voice that tells me, “You will miss so much by being so guarded.”
“I don't think you realize how strong you are, because sometimes strenght isn't swords and steel and fire, as we are so often made to believe. Sometimes it's found in quiet, gentle places.”
“In the meantime, I hope you will find your place, wherever you are. Even in the silence, I hope you will find the words you need to share.”
