81 " He's smiling, and I didn't realize how much I missed seeing that smile. He should smile all the time. Forever. At me. "
― Colleen Hoover , Ugly Love
82 " I find myself comparing the feel and smell of brand-new rain to his kiss. His kiss is much, much better. "
83 " You bend the laws of the universe when you fly," I say. "It's impressive. Defying gravity? Watching sunrises and sunsets from places Mother Nature didn't intend for you to watch them from? You really are superheroes, if you think about it. "
84 " Does he not realize that facial expressions are supposed to accompany speech? "
85 " Love isn't always pretty, Tate. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it'll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you're back to square one, and you lost you heart somewhere along the way "
86 " Whoever coined the phrase 'I love you to death' obviously never experienced the kind of love Tate and I share. If that were the case, the phrase would be 'I love you to life.' Because that's exactly what Tate did. She loved me back to life. "
87 " So give it up. You give it all up. You never want love again, no matter what kind it is, because no type of love will ever be worth living through the ugly love again. "
88 " I can't tell if you're really mature for your age or really delusional."I shrug, guarding my delusions deep inside my chest. "An unhealthy mixture of both, I'm sure. "
89 " Jesus Christ, Tate, you’re staring at his damn crotch! "
90 " As soon as he comes into view, I lose the war. The war I didn't even know I was fighting. It doesn't happen often, but when I do find a guy attractive, it's better when it happens with a person I want it to happen with "
91 " If that boy can't see what a good thing he could have with you, then he ain't worth your time. "
92 " What do you want to be?""Happy," she says with a smile.That's the perfect answer. "
93 " It's inevitable. He's so adamant about the things he doesn't want out of life, and I'm starting to understand just how serious he is. So much as I want to protect my heart from him, it's pointless. He's going to break it eventually, yet I continue to allow him to fill it. Every time I'm with him, he fills my heart up more and more,and the more it's filled with pieces of him, the more painful it'll be when he rips it out of my chest as though it never belonged there in the first place. "
94 " I’m not Tate when I’m near Miles. I’m liquid, and liquid doesn’t know how to be firm or stand up for itself. Liquid flows. That’s all I want to do with Miles.Flow. "
95 " God gave me a lot of great things to accomplish in my life, and right now, I’m so far behind I ain’t ever gonna die. "
96 " You look up and think, I wish I was up there.But you're not.Ugly becomes you.Consumes you.Makes you hate it all.Makes you realize that all the beautiful parts aren't even worth it. Without the beautiful, you'll never risk feeling this.You'll never risk the ugly feeling.So give it up. You give it all up. You never want love again, no matter what kind it is, because no type of love will ever be worth living through the ugly love again. "
97 " Sometimes it's easy to forget how much you miss people until you see them again. "
98 " When life gives you lemons, make sure you know who's eyes you need to squeeze them in. "
99 " The only thing that could possibly seperate me from him right now would be a bolt of lightening. Or the fact that it's raining so hard I can't breathe. "
100 " I fall in and out and back in love with that answer. "
