1 " I was so tired of fighting. Tired of hurting. Tired of the guilt that never released me, and the regrets that could not be changed. I didn't want this life. They're were only so many times I could hear that I should never have been born, before I wished it to be true. "
― Rebecca Donovan , Out of Breath (Breathing, #3)
2 " I listen to silence. And you have a lot to say. Although I haven't quite figured out what it is yet....I promise not to delve into what makes your silence so loud, if you promise not to walk out on me. "
3 " I never gave him a chance to decide if I was worth loving. I'd taken that choice away from him - because I feared what it would be. "
4 " I’m so afraid I’m not worth the breath you gave me… "
5 " Every breath I breathe is because of you.' His eyes flickered, still peering into mine. 'Even when you weren't there to save me, you were my reason to breathe. And for that I will always love you. Always. "
6 " I'm stuck. I'm stuck in yesterday, and you're tomorrow. "
7 " Je l'aime. Plus qu'il ne le saura jamais. C'est pour cette raison que j'ai choisi son bonheur. "
8 " I'll have to warn you, my cousins are Satan's spawn. "
9 " Every breath I breathe is because of you. Even when your weren't there to save me, you were my reason to breathe. And for that I will always love you. Always. "
10 " I love him more than he will ever know. And because of that, I choose his happiness. "
11 " Remember there is always a choice. I chose to live. I chose to love. I chose to breathe. "
12 " Living in the mistakes of your past isn't going to do anything but destroy your future. "
13 " I'm not supposed to live without you. And you're not supposed to live without me. We're in this life together. Without each other, we're not really living. "
14 " I don't understand. You still...love me?""Yeah, I do. And I know you're not the same girl. But I'm in love with you, Emma. I fell in love with you all over again this summer. People change. I know this. And we'll continue to change. That just means I'll get to fall in love with you again. Because no matter what happens in our lives, what I feel for you will survive anything. "
15 " Maybe it's because once you put all the pieces together, you end up with something beautiful. "
16 " I couldn't catch my breath. I buried my face in his shirt. He was my reason for existing. It was his words that pulled me to the surface. His breath that saved me. And now, his arms that held me within this life, unable to give up. He was my strength, and the love I didn't have for myself. And I couldn't live without him more than he could let me go. "
17 " Open your eyes and live. "
18 " This was just the beginning of our healing. Of being forgiven. I knew I would struggle with it at times, and feel like I was fighting for every breath. I just had to remember, there was always a choice. And I chose to live. I chose to love. I chose to breathe. "
19 " In the uneven balance of life, I'd experienced love and loss. The loss challenged me to be strong, but it was the love that supported me when I was weak. I was a survivor. "
20 " I can't..." Her voice broke. "I can't do this any more.""Then I'll do it for you," I rasped, my throat closing. "Let me love you enough for the two of us, until you can accept you're worth it. Because you are, Emma. I don't know how to convince you. But I'll spend the rest of my life trying. You can't give up on me now. I won't let you. "
