1 " Taking a risk to survive isn’t that impressive. Taking a risk to be happy, that takes guts. "
― Sarah Noffke , Revived (The Lucidites, #3)
2 " My heart is kerosene, my mind a match. I’m seconds away from igniting. "
3 " Most people aren’t happy. They sing songs like they are. Make up cute little stories. Post pics of the rare times when life wasn’t dreadful. Most people are stomaching this whole affair called life. Are these people complainers? Probably. Most are. But they’re also just blokes who’re too afraid to take a risk. So they live lives in a redundant cycle of complacent apathy. Then these people wallow around day after day in their unhappiness. The more you do that, the more you lose sight of the chances you could take to make things better. "
4 " Don’t make loss in your life make you a loser. "
5 " You know, sometimes even when two people love each other the universe still conspires against them, forces them apart. "
6 " If my time loving you has taught me anything, it’s that love grows with every returned smile, every second of communal silence and every word exchanged. Unconditional love is built and when it’s finished nothing destroys it. "
7 " When a heart breaks a substance spills out like cement and pours through the bloodstream, hardening everything. In time, I know my heart will mend and the rock inside will crack and crumble away. But for now I’m as solid as a column. And alone I stand. "
8 " People who make mistakes are in the best position to make better choices. "
9 " Unconditional love is something people achieve once they’ve given themselves over completely to someone. Once they’ve decided that no matter what the other person does, they will always love them. "
10 " You don’t want to wake up and realize you could have been happy, that the risks would have been worth it, but you dwindled away your chances. "
11 " Love isn’t governed by logic or understanding. You don’t enter into it like an agreement. It crashes down on you. You wake up one morning and realize the reason you can’t take your eyes off someone is because you’re in love with them. "
12 " I think you've been hurt too much from an early age. You were trying to fix the world that broke you. When that didn't work you pretended you weren't broken. But you don't have to pretend with me, because no matter what you do I'll always accept you. "
13 " What I want and what I have to do are incongruent. "
14 " Sometimes you don’t get to be who you are. "
15 " We’re all just a conglomeration of our nervous habits. I see them like road maps in each conversation telling me more about the people than their words. stripping people of simple things weakens them. "
