❝ Stories are people. I'm a story, you're a story… your father is a story. Our stories go in every direction, but sometimes, if we're lucky, our stories join into one, and for a while, we're less     alone. ❞ - JESS WALTER ❝ There's this promise of happiness out there. I know it. I even feel it sometimes. But it's like chasing the moon - just when I think I have it, it disappears into the horizon. I grieve and try to move on, but the damn thing comes back the next night, giving me hope of catching it all over again. ❞ - SARAH ADDISON ALLEN ❝ Every life has a watershed moment, an instant when you realize you're about to make a choice that will define everything else you ever do, and that if you choose wrong, there may not be that many things left to choose. Sometimes the wrong choice is the only one that lets you face the end with dignity, grace, and the awareness that you're doing the right thing. I'm not sure we can recognize this moments until they've passed us. ❞ - MIRA GRANT ❝ Sometimes I wonder if life is all about one moment. Everything before and everything after is about that one moment, and we are all stuck there. Do you know what I mean? ❞ - SUZANNE LAFLEUR ❝ You'll swoop from incredible highs when you're just glad to be alive, to those lows when you wish you were dead. And just when you start thinking that you've accepted who you are, that changes, too. Because who you are is not permanent. ❞ - ANDREW DAVIDSON ❝ It is often difficult to admit that someone you love is not perfect, or to consider aspects of a person that are less than admirable. ❞ - LEMONY SNICKET ❝ There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ❞ - ANAIS NIN ❝ He made me think of all the books I hadn't read, and all the ones I'd read but hadn't fully   understood. ❞ - TOM PERROTTA ❝ Love? What is love? Love hinders death. Love is life. Everything, everything I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is connected only by that. ❞ - LEO TOLSTOY ❝ But in fact there are infinite subtleties to identity - that is to say, there is the way that you are, which is the sum of the way you are becoming and the way you have been, and which does not take into account the way you secretly wish to be. ❞ - HILARY THAYER HAMANN ❝ I'm scared I'm going to spend the rest of my life in a state of yearning, regardless of where I am. ❞ - MELINA MARCHETTA ❝ Sometimes you have to choose between a bunch of wrong choices and no right ones. You just have to choose which wrong choice feels the least wrong. ❞ - COLLEEN HOOVER ❝ My days were full, yet I remained, much of the time, unsatisfied. ❞ - MITCH ALBOM ❝ Every life is both ordinary and extraordinary - it is the respective proportions of those two categories that make life appear interesting or humdrum ❞ - WILLIAM BOYD ❝ A real miracle's a reminder and a warning that the line that separates the possible from the impossible isn't as firm as we like to think it is. ❞ - DIRK WITTENBORN ❝ Always remember that, but remember that you have to move on, somehow. You just pick up your head and stare at something beautiful like the sky, or the ocean, and you move the hell on. ❞ - JAMES PATTERSON ❝ …there is nothing so cruel in this world as the desolation of having nothing to hope for. ❞ - HARUKI MURAKAMI ❝ I will never, ever regret the things I've done. Because most days, if you're stuck in one of these, all you have are the places in your memory that you can go to. ❞ - JOJO MOYES ❝ And sometimes you held somebody's hand just to prove you were still alive, and that another human being was there to testify that fact. ❞ - RAINBOW ROWELL ❝ Well, sometimes I worry that my whole life will be based around what's comfortable and easy. I'll care too much about what makes me feel good to ever really reach for anything. And then I worry that even if I do, I won't succeed. ❞ - JULIA HOBAN ❝ Loving you has never been the problem. What's troubling me is how loving you may never be enough. ❞ - MEGAN MCCAFFERTY
