1 " It's amazing how people can be so blind to what's good for them and what isn't, what's truth and what's not, or the difference between secrets and things just not yet known. "
― Eric Lindstrom
2 " Being in love with someone who doesn't love you back is a tragedy. A fantasy is having someone understand the real you and love you anyway. "
― Eric Lindstrom , A Tragic Kind of Wonderful
3 " Regel 1: Neem me niet in de maling. Nooit. Zeker niet door misbruik te maken van mijn blindheid. Helemaal niet in het openbaar. "
― Eric Lindstrom , Not If I See You First
4 " Seeing is not believing "
5 " I've been hearing a lot about standing in front of trains. You know I certainly would if it came down to it; I just think it would be better for all of us if we didn't have to. "
6 " Awww," I interrupt him with my sweet voice. "You figured that out because you just heard someone say it. And I know your name for the very same reason. Douchebag isn't very nice, though, so I'll just call you D.B.""I'm--""Shhh..." I shake my head. "Don't ruin it. "
7 " That's what love is, Marissa. It's not magic or voodoo. It's real. You can explain it. I an tell you exactly why I love Sarah." I hold my hand out and, thank God, Sarah gently interlaces her fingers with mine. 'I had lots of friends when I was little but by the time I turned eight they were mostly gone. It turns out blind Parker with a dead mom wasn't nearly as much fun as she was before the accident. I couldn't run around and play and I cried all the time and knocked over everything and turned into a royal bitch and one by one my friends disappeared until there were only two left. I'm not saying they were the only one who understood me or were nice, just that they were the ones who didn't go off and find easier people to be friends with. I love Sarah because she's been my best fiend and stayed that way when it got really really hard to be my friend at all. "
8 " He still looks at you like he used to, even before you got together, like you're the most important thing in the word. Like if you were trapped on railroad tracks he'd break every finger to get you free without even noticing...and if he couldn't, he'd sit on the tracks and hold your hand and watch you instead of the train. "
9 " You're not bipolar, Mel. You have a bipolar disorder. You also have vibrant blue eyes, a wonderful personality, a tendency to undervalue yourself, and many, many other things. None of those things are you.""What am I, then?""A person who changes and grows all the time. "
10 " She has impossibly high standards.''So do you.''Yeah, well, not impossibly high. Someone did come along who meets them.''Your problem is thinking no one else ever will. "
11 " I don't feel like I'm winning anything.""Battles are never won. Only survived. "
12 " People don’t change. They just learn from experience and become better actors. "
13 " People are full of things you don't know but that doesn't mean they're secrets; you just don't know everything yet.' He lets go. 'And that's good, otherwise you'd have no reason to talk anymore. "
14 " And this might sound strange but part of why I love her so much is that I don't take it for granted. I don't like to admit it but whenever I put my hand out a part of me worries that maybe she's not going to be there this time, that she's finally sick of all my selfishness and drama...' Sarah squeezes my hand tightly and presses her temple on my shoulder. '...and that's why I freaked out, but then she's always there for me and I'm so goddamn grateful I wonder what I could have possibly done to deserve her. If you want to know what a soul mate is, Marissa, that's it. Sarah's my soul mate. I would stand in front of a train for her, and I love her because she'd do it for me too. "
15 " Truth isn’t happiness; it’s just truth. "
16 " She said she wasn’t worried about labels. I said that was both wise and foolish. She agreed. “What "
17 " You don’t get to say these things to me anymore. "
18 " I love you, Parker. You’re my sister. No, better than that; real sisters you’re stuck with—we’re sisters because we want to be.” I "
19 " Sometimes I wish I knew what I was going to say in time to decide not to. "
20 " There's nothing in it ", I say"Sure there is." He squeezes. "People are full of things you don't know but that dosen't mean they're secrets; you just don't know everything yet." He lets go. " And that's good, otherwise you'd have no reason to talk anymore. "
