1 " To embrace love, we risk heartbreak. To resist love, we risk emptiness. "

2 " Black, white, Latino, gay, straight – if any one of them came across a bear in the woods, they’d all taste like chicken. "
3 " So on a scale of one to Adele, how bad was this breakup? "
4 " Racism still exists, but I don’t look at everything as black or white. I know some wonderful black people, like my grandparents, but there are black people who cheat, steal, even murder — and white people who do the same. There are good and bad people in every group.

5 " Her hand skimmed my jaw, almost lifting me off my seat. We gazed at each other for minutes or hours — I couldn’t tell for sure. She kept coming closer, and when her lips met mine, the buoyant sensation intensified. My eyes closed as I rode the waves of her sweet kisses. We swam in a sea of gold, with no anchors, no land in sight. I clutched her waist as I deepened her kiss. I wanted to float here forever. "
6 " I took a deep breath to steady my racing pulse, and his spicy scent wafted over me. He stood so close that I could feel his warmth. His presence overwhelmed me, sent trembles down my spine into my legs. Without thinking, I lunged for his sweater and pulled him to me. I noticed the shock in his eyes just before I tilted up to press my lips to his. "
