This Lullaby QUOTES

1 " Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you. "

― Sarah Dessen , This Lullaby

2 " No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater...The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that's the key. It's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot. "

9 " My mother was strong, in all the ways I was weak. She fell, she hurt, she felt. She lived. And for all the tumble of her experiences, she still had hope. Maybe this next time would do the trick. Or maybe not. But unless you stepped into the game, you will never know. "

10 " I knew this feeling, the 2 a.m. loneliness that I'd practically invented. "

― Sarah Dessen , This Lullaby

11 " So many times it seemed like there were chances to stop things before they started. Or even stop them in midstream. But it was even worse when you knew in that very moment that there was still time to save yourself, and yet you couldn't even budge. "

12 " Jennifer Anne had prepared some complicated-looking recipe involving chicken breasts stuffed with sweet potatoes topped with a vegetable glaze. They looked perfect, but it was the kind of dish where you just knew someone had to have been pawing at your food for a long while to get it just right, their fingers all in what now you were having to stick in your mouth. "

13 " Most people put off my mother's erratic behavior to the fact that she was a writer, as if that just explained everything. To me that was just an excuse. I mean, brain surgeons can be crazy too, but no one says that's all right. Fortunately for my mother, I am alone in this opinion. "

14 " Restoring order of my personal universe suddenly seemed imperative, as I refolded my T-shirts, stuffed the toes of my shoes with tissue paper, and arranged all the bills in my secret stash box facing the same way, instead of tossed in sloppy and wild, as if by my evil twin. All week, I kept making lists and crossing things off them, ending each day with a sense of great accomplishment eclipsed only by complete and total exhaustion. "

15 " Love is so unpredictable. Sometimes you'll know a man for years and then one day, boom! Suddenly you see him in a different way. And other times, it's that first date, that first moment. That's what makes it so great. "

― Sarah Dessen , This Lullaby

16 " Timing clicking together, finally, pieces falling into place. "

― Sarah Dessen , This Lullaby

17 " Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there. "

― Sarah Dessen , This Lullaby

18 " Because you can never go from going out to being friends, just like that. It's a lie. It's just something that people say they'll do to take the permanence out of a breakup. And someone always takes it to mean more than it does, and then is hurt even more when, inevitably, said ‘friendly' relationship is still a major step down from the previous relationship, and it's like breaking up all over again. But messier. "

19 " I planned my whole future around Adam,' she said now, quietly. 'And now I have nothing.'
'No,' I told her, 'now you just don't have Adam. There's a big difference, Lissa. You just can't see it yet. "

― Sarah Dessen , This Lullaby

20 " Remy: Did you really believe, that first day, that we were meant to be together?

Dexter: You're here, aren't you? "
