21 " I'm seventeen. This isn't puppy love any more. The boys are nearly men, when they bite they leave scars. "

23 " So maybe we are fearless. Fearless not in the fighting dragons sort of way, but in that way you can only be when you're seventeen and scared of everything and nothing, all at once. "
― Tanya Byrne , For Holly
24 " You must have found it hard at school as well, everyone complaining about homework and not having a car or being able to afford a dress from ASOS that they'll probably only wear once. Stupid shit I used to complain about as well that doesn't matter anymore. Oh boo hoo your cat died. Poor you. My mother was run down in the street by a drunk driver. Someone from the council had to scrub her blood off the pavement. "
25 " Do you think that's what love is? Not what they say on the front of those cheesy Valentine's cards you see in petrol stations - you complete me - but is it when someone has seen you at your worst but still looks at you like you're the best thing that's ever happened to them? I think it might be. "
26 " : don't worry about dying, because while you're worrying about that, you won't notice the tiny thousand ways that you die every day. Every time someone tells you to grow up.Each time someone tells you to be realistic. Every time someone tells you that you're too much and not enough, all at once. Don't listen to them.You don't need to be better than anyone else, you just need to be better than who you used to be." Pgs 355-356 "
