1 " Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home. "
― Lisa Kleypas , Crystal Cove (Friday Harbor, #4)
2 " Nothing for young woman who yearned for something as extraordinary , and yet entirely normal , as love "
3 " My point is, when someone is hurting you, they can call it whatever the hell they want. They can even call it love. But words lie, actions don’t. "
4 " One of the more ignominious features of love was that you could only express it with cliches...it made you sound like a fraud at a time when you were blazing with sincerity. "
5 " Love, she reflected bitterly, wasn't something you bargained with or negotiated with...it lived by its own rules. Love appeared when you didn't want it and refused to go. It was like an invasive species that entered your garden without warning, and proceeded to grow wildly out of control, resistant to every method employed to kill it.Basically, love was pigweed. "
6 " Love will break your heart,[...] but love can also mend it. Not many things in life are both the cause and the cure. "
7 " It’s a risk I’m willing to take. This happens once in a lifetime. You meet someone and have this crazy reaction … you touch her skin and it’s the best skin you’ve ever felt, and no perfume on earth could be better than her smell, and you know you could never be bored with her because she’s interesting even when she’s doing nothing. Even without knowing everything about her, you get her. You know who she is, and it works for you on every level. "
8 " You shouldn’t rule out second chances. Sometimes they come with interesting bonus features. "
9 " Because one day of something wonderful is better than a forever of nothing special. "
10 " No one can tell you what your path is . . . but someday you'll discover it. . . and it won't be at all what you expected. "
11 " It’s like trying to describe a color you’ve never seen before. Words can’t make you understand what real love is like. But until you’ve felt it … you haven’t really lived. "
12 " One can be alone without being lonely. And lonely without being alone. (Rosemary) "
13 " Justine, whenever someone says 'this is for your own good,' it's a guarantee they're about to cause you some kind of damage. "
14 " I learned that a sense of privacy doesn't have to depend on walls and doors. At least not external ones. Two people could sit in a room and read or work separately without ever breaking the silence. It's an ability to put up walls in your mind, so no one can get through. "
15 " I've been exactly that lonly. You're not connected to anything. Some nights it feels like you're dying by the hour. You're so desperate you can't even attract the kind of person you once swore you'd never settle for. "
16 " No one can tell you what your path is," she had told Justine. "But someday you’ll discover it." She had smiled pensively. "And it won’t be at all what you expected. "
17 " [...] I always wondered how love could translate into an emergency room visit. "
18 " Querías amor. Ahora lo tienes. Te quiero lo suficiente, mi amor es tan grande como el de una docena de personas. Tal vez haya algo que no estaría dispuesto a hacer por ti, alguna regla o ley que no quebrantaría, pero que me aspen si se me ocurre cuál podría ser. "
19 " They shop at Dollar Tree because they don’t want to get dressed up for Walmart. "
20 " Someday your life will change in one second flat. Something you never could have expected will hit you like a two-by-four. And there won’t be enough time to figure out how or why it happened. You’ll just have to go with it. "
