1 " Sometimes … I think parents work so hard to keep us from making their mistakes, they won’t allow us to make our own. "
― Charles Sheehan-Miles , A Song for Julia (Thompson Sisters, #1)
2 " I love you, and I want you to be happy, I want you to have the life you deserve. And if that means … if that means I have to stand here and watch you walk away, then I’ll do it. I won’t be happy about it. It’ll break my heart. But … if that’s what you really need, then we’re done. "
3 " Before you go, you need to know - I'd do anything for you. Even kis you goodbye and watch you go. "
4 " Because you make me better. You make me-you make me feel like I matter. Like my life matters. I feel like, with you, I can do anything in the world. That we can do anything in the world. And we will. "
5 " Sometimes things aren't what they appear. We all have hurts that we don't show. "
6 " Home's where the people you love are. It's about finding the things that matter to you, and holding on to them and taking care of them. "
7 " The things you rebel against are the things that define you "
8 " What do you want from me, Crank?” Her voice was raw, desperate. I looked at her. She was so close, but might as well have been a thousand miles away. I said, “I want you to love me. "
9 " I want you to love me.""I don't even know you.""Then I'll settle for a date. Bowling? "
10 " And you won't write any more stupid songs about me?""Can't promise that. In fact, that may be all I do for the rest of my life. "
11 " Before you think I'm a complete pig.. never mind. I am." - Crank "
12 " I don't have room for serious in my life."He stepped close and brushed my lips with his, then spoke in a low tone. "I want you to be serious about me, "
13 " I don't understand you. Is this how you get girls in bed?""No." "So what's different?" "I'm not trying to get you in bed. Well...I am. But not just temporarily. "
14 " I’m afraid she’s going to grow right past me and end up falling in love with some asshole who has it all together. "
15 " I stood there for a few more seconds, watching her go. And I couldn’t do anything but admire her courage, her compassion. I wanted her. I wanted her so badly I was shaking. "
16 " What are you afraid of?” he asked.“Losing control,” I replied.“Sometimes losing control can be wicked awesome,” he said. "
17 " You make me better. You make me – you make me feel like I matter. Like my life matters. "
18 " Maybe I need something that means something. "
19 " Before you go, you need to know - I'd do anything for you. Even kiss you goodbye and watch you go "
20 " What I learned was this: letting myself be at the mercy of hormones and brain chemicals and emotions can be deadly. "
