1 " Always go after the girl. No matter what she says. Chase her. "
― Marilyn Grey , The Life I Now Live (Unspoken #3)
2 " Everything feels right with her. I can’t explain it. The world just stops. Everything freezes. It’s me. It’s her. It’s just us. Everything else, every molecule, including the oxygen we breathe, is only secondary to the chemistry we create. When we watch a movie it’s more than images strung together in the form of mindless entertainment. It’s an experience. An experience we share together from making the popcorn to watching the film to talking about it for days after. Chemistry. What more can I say? You either have it or you don’t. "
3 " He realized, you see, that he was stupid enough to fall in love with a woman he never saw with his eyes, but that's okay, my dear, because the heart doesn't need eyes to fall in love. "
4 " Dear Juliet. I could relate to her pain. Black misery painted on a blood red heart. Death would be more bearable than life without Romeo. "
5 " All I know is that when your soul becomes so entwined with another soul that you can't breathe when he's gone, you have become soul-mates. When you can't live without him and he feels the exact same way. "
6 " For the first time in my whole damn life I can look into a girls eyes and find her looking right back at me. Not passed me. Not around me. Into me. "
7 " Romance meant more to me now. More than laughter and longing. I couldn’t explain it. Romance, true romance, killed my childish dreams and replaced them with something real. Something of significance. Deeper and darker and brighter all at the same time. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Patience. Goodness. Kindness. Peace. Joy. Love. True love. "
8 " But what is love if the heart falls for someone else so fast? Was it real? "
9 " The heart can ignore the mind. Happens all the time. But the mind cannot ignore the heart. I tried, believe me. Doesn’t work. The heart rules when the mind is in doubt. "
10 " Doesn’t there come a time when you need to bury the past? When you stop using it as excuse to curl up in a ball and not live your life? "
11 " Life happened. You are mostly the guy who left. I'm not the same girl you left standing here. "
12 " Dreams that die can live on in your heart, but dead dreams make dead hearts. I needed to live again. To feel life. Really enjoy it. To keep my heart alive and latch onto dreams that live forever. "
13 " Follow your heart, but bring your mind. You will find your answers. "
14 " But doesn’t there come a time when you need to bury the past? When you stop using it as excuse to curl up in a ball and not live your life? Doesn’t there come a time when the past no longer lives in the present and muddies the future? "
15 " Life is not like the movies. It’s not perfect. It’s flawed, like a puzzle with missing pieces. Never complete. Never whole. Always searching, climbing, trying to figure out the impossible puzzle of this life, but in the end you’re only left with a mess to clean up. Everything seemed unfair. "
