41 " There isn't heartache if there hasn't been joy. I wouldn't feel loss if there hadn't been love. "
― Amy Harmon , Making Faces
42 " There are times when you just need to acknowledge the shit … You just need to acknowledge it. Face the shit … Accept the truth in it. Own it, wallow in it, become one with the shit. "
43 " Nobody or Nowhere? Fern: I'd rather be nobody at home than somebody somewhere else.Ambrose: I'd rather be nowhere. Being nobody when you're expected to be somebody gets old.Fern: How would you know? Have you been nobody?Ambrose: Everybody who is somebody becomes nobody the moment they fail. "
44 " She decided she would just be a fairy because she liked the option of flying without the responsibility of saving the world. "
45 " There's a lot I don't understand... but not understanding is better than not believing "
46 " Because terrible things happen to everyone, Brosey. We're all just so caught up in our own crap that we don't see the shit everyone else is wading through "
47 " Maybe we just don't recognize the blessings that come as a result of terrible things "
48 " I promised myself that if you came home I wouldn’t be afraid to tell you how I felt. But I’m still afraid. Because I can’t make you love me back. "
49 " Do you think there’s any way someone like Ambrose could fall in love with someone like me?”...“Only if he’s lucky.”“Oh, Bailey.” Fern shook her head, but loved him for saying it…and even more for meaning it. "
50 " The real thing, when done right, is always better than a daydream. "
51 " This last year I've felt like one of those snowflakes we used to make in school. The ones where you fold the paper a certain way and then keep cutting and cutting until the paper is shredded. That's what I look like, a paper snowflake. And each hole has a name. And nobody, not you, not me, can fill the holes that someone else has left. All we can do is keep each other from falling in the holes and never coming out again. "
52 " I want your body. I want your mouth. I want your red hair in my hands. I want your laugh and your funny faces. I want your friendship and your inspirational thoughts. I want Shakespeare and Amber Rose novels ... And I want you to come with me when I go. "

55 " Scripture comforts me, and romance novels give me hope." "Oh yeah? Hope for what?" "Hope that I'll be doing more than quoting scripture with Ambrose Young in the very near future". "
56 " And so we endure. We have faith that there is purpose. We hope for things we can't see. We believe that there are lessons in loss, power in love, and that we have within us the potential for a beauty so magnificent that our bodies can't contain it. "
57 " I used to be afraid of going to hell. But now that I'm here, hell doesn't seem so bad. "
58 " I keep thinking that maybe you and I could take a road trip and tell all the girls we meet along the way that we’re both vets. You’ve got a messed up face and my war wounds have put me in this chair. You think they’d believe it? Maybe then I could get some action. Problem is, how am I going to get a handful of tit if I can’t lift my arms? "
59 " There isn't heartache if there hasn't been joy. I wouldn't feel loss if there hadn't been love. You couldn't take my pain away without removing Bailey from my heart. I would rather have this pain now than never have known him. I just have to keep reminding myself of that. "
