81 " Fue como descubrir que el mundo estaba hecho de telaraña y podía ser fácilmente desgarrado. Estar tan solo a merced del destino. "
― Gayle Forman , Just One Year (Just One Day, #2)
82 " Girls have always been the best distractions.Until a girl became the thing I needed distraction from "
83 " Oh yes. To dram is the ultimate dare, is it not? "
84 " Hay una diferencia entre perder algo que sabías que tenías y perder algo que descubriste que tenías. Uno es una desilusión. El otro se siente como perder una pieza de ti mismo. "
85 " Sólo fue un día y sólo ha pasado un año. Pero tal vez un día es suficiente. Tal vez una hora es suficiente. Tal vez el tiempo no tenga nada que ver con ello. "
86 " Entonces, dice—. ¿Haces eso a menudo? ¿Seguir adelante?—Quizás. Pero sólo porque viajo mucho.Golpetea con ritmo en el volante, audible sólo para ella.—O quizás viajas mucho porque te permite seguir adelante. "
87 " It’s a funny thing, because I think that my mother and I may finally be speaking the same language. But somehow, now words don’t seem as necessary "
88 " My mother and I, we both speak Dutch and English. But we never could speak the same language "
89 " ...you don't ever find things when you're looking for them. You find them when you're not. "
90 " This day, so seared in my memory, is just another day to everyone else. "
91 " There’s a difference between losing something you knew you had and losing something you discovered you had. One is a disappointment. The other is truly a loss. "
92 " I don’t understand,” I said. Neither did they, really. All they could say was, “It’s one of those one-in-a-million cases.” Such comforting odds, except when you were the one. It was like finding out the world was made of gossamer and could be so easily ripped apart. To be so solely at the mercy of fate. "
93 " It’s like an ache, how much I miss them. How much I miss her. I’m so tired of missing things I don’t have "
94 " Love is not something you protect, it 's something you risk. "
95 " There's a difference between losing something you knew you had and losing something you discovered you had. "
96 " Sometimes fate or life or whatever you want to call it, leaves a door a little open and you walk through it. But sometimes it locks the door and you have to find the key, or pick the lock, or knock the damn thing down. And sometimes, it doesn't even show you the door, and you have to build it yourself. But if you keep waiting for the doors to be opened for you..." she trails off. "
97 " Meant to be," Kate scoffs. "Excuse me but I'm having a hard time buying all of this woo-woo stuff... Nothing happens without intention Willem. Nothing. This theory of yours- Life is ruled by accidents- isn't that just one huge excuse for passivity? "
98 " Don’t you know, Willy?” he’d said. “I keep things. "
99 " Do you do that a lot? Move on?""Maybe. But only because I travel a lot."She taps out a beat on the steering wheel, audible only to herself. "Or maybe you travel a lot because it lets you move on. "
100 " You still have this?” I’d asked him. He’d moved two years before and we didn’t see each other frequently. Broodje had looked at the card, and then looked at me. “Don’t you know, Willy?” he’d said. “I keep things. "
