Sometimes two people have to fall apart, to realize how much they need to fall back together.

My heart made it’s choice, and it chose you.

I absolutely, positively hate this beautiful, magical feeling.

My grandfather used to say the placement of a birthmark was the story of how a person lost the battle in their past.

Because it’s not muscles that make men strong. Secret do. The more secret you keep, the stronger you are on the inside.

You sort of don’t find me attractive? That can also mean you sort of do find me attractive.

Sometimes life doesn’t happen in chronological order.

Every time the song looped, all I heard was the part about the lies – and how they weigh you down. Tonight, as I drive toward Detroit in my Jeep, I know what those words...

I can’t do it anymore… The way you consume my mind when we aren’t together? I don’t have time for it anymore. I’ve got more important things to think about now than your little weak...

The weight of lies will bring you down, follow you to every town ’cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there.

You probably faked passing out the other day, just so you could be carried in my hot, sweaty, manly arms.

No puedes enfadarte con un final real. Algunos de ellos son feos. Son los falsos felices para siempre los que deberían enojarte. No todo el mundo tiene un felices para siempre. La vida es real...

His fingers have been slowly lacing through my hair.

This girl is the rest of my life.

No, I mean earlier. Where’d you go? You weren’t here with me because no, nothing happened. I could see on your face that something was wrong, so I didn’t do it. But now you need...

She smiles when she sees me. That’s it. All she did just now was smile, but all of a sudden, my chest is on fire, and it feels as if a wave of heat just...

Wäre ich ein Zimmermann, würde ich dir ein Fenster zu meiner Seele zimmern.Wenn du hineinschauen würdest, sähest du dich selbst in der Scheibe gespiegelt.Und dann wüsstest du, dass meine Seele einSpiegelbild von deiner ist.

Nothing is permanent. The only thing any of us have in common is the inevitable.

As an author, I want to write what I’m inspired to write. Not what my readers want me to write. I feel like the books will ultimately be better if my heart is fully into...

I wanted to cry because I needed you there with me so bad. I knew in that moment that I was in love with you. I was in love with the way you loved me....

I’d rather have a uncertainty than certainty. I don’t want to know what’s going to happen. It can’t be good.

I’m really hoping he’s being genuine because I can already tell he isn’t the kind of guy a girl gets a simple crush on. He’s the kind of guy you fall hard for, and the...

I’m a fool.At least i’m a self aware fool.

I need one of those chapter breaks. I just want to catch my breath, but I have no idea how.

She’s watching me: strands of hair stand between me and a full view of her face. She’s beautiful, but in a shameful way. One I’m not sure I’m supposed to appreciate. Everything about her is...

No, Sky. You didn’t tell her everything…you told you everything. Those things happened to you, not to someone else. They happened to Hope. They happened to Sky. They happened to the best friend that I...
