Steph Campbell QUOTES

2 " My insides feel like they are crumbling like a towering JENGA game. I lose. "

― Steph Campbell , Grounding Quinn

4 " He taught me to fight, to defend myself, to stand up for what I believe in, and protect people I love. I thanked him for that lesson after that weekend in New Orleans when some guy put his hands on Delia, and I had to tear him apart. "

― Steph Campbell , My Heart for Yours (Crawford, #1)

6 " When she left, it was like someone had ripped my heart out, crumbled it up like a flimsy piece of loose leaf paper and crammed it back into my chest. It somehow managed to work, but it would never, ever feel the same. "

― Steph Campbell , My Heart for Yours (Crawford, #1)

8 " A thin, polished woman walks in. She sticks out immediately in her expensive looking navy dress, shiny bag and shoes that probably cost more than I make in a month. My breath leaves me when I see that her arm is draped around a younger version of herself. That hair, it's pulled back way too tight now, but I'd run my hands through it a thousand times before. That face, now in layer of makeup that makes her look older than I remember, I'd held it in my calloused hands and kissed those lips goodbye over a year ago. She said she'd never see me again and I learned to accept that. She destroyed me, and I'd moved on.
No. Not her. She's not from here anymore. I don't know who that person is anymore. "

10 " I loved Trevor wholly. In all the good ways that made me feel alive and special and important. But also, in the bad ways. The ways that shut me off from others and left me alone with my pain. The ways that had me keep secrets. I loved Trevor in all the ways that I thought mattered, even though I knew that I didn’t. "

― Steph Campbell , Delicate

12 " People don't want the truth when they ask how you're doing after you lost your brother. "

― Steph Campbell , My Heart for Yours (Crawford, #1)

14 " No way, that would kill my diet for the week. I don't know how you can stand to eat so unhealthy, Quinn.

Just consider it an amuse-biatch. "

― Steph Campbell , Grounding Quinn

16 " Because brothers don’t let each other wander in the dark alone "

― Steph Campbell , My Heart for Yours (Crawford, #1)

18 " Whit looks like an angel when she sleeps. She's all sweet, full lips, long, curly eyelashes, and a tumble of sleek, dark hair against the pillow.
She also kicks like a mule, snores like a bear, sweats like a hog, and steals the covers like a fat, menacing caterpillar about to cocoon herself before her metamorphosis. - Deo "

20 " Does it ever make you sad?"
"Does what?"
"The Sunset,"
"Sad? Nah, I think it's peaceful."
"Not to me. I've always found it depressing."
"How so?"
"I guess because it's the end. I hate endings."
"Not all endings are bad though. I think of sunsets more as a clean slate. Besides, they're beautiful... like you"
"Beautiful things never last. "
