1 " Maybe if we stopped trying to achieve movie standards of greatness, we'd be happy with what we have. "
― Amber L. Johnson , Puddle Jumping (Puddle Jumping, #1)
2 " Society has pretty much taught us that it's inside the lines, or outside. But there's so much more in between. "
3 " But life isn't really about just geting by. Right when you've lulled yourself into a false sense of security, it likes to throw in a plot twist. Keep you on your toes. "
4 " Life is meant to be lived, and if you're offered the chance to experience things with an extraordinary person, then there isn't one reason in the world to say no. "
5 " He's not weird. He's just not exactly like you. "
6 " Hablo en serio. Me mareé y confundí por sostener su mano.Me imaginé que probablemente besarlo me enviaría al hospital. De nuevo. "
7 " I have to ask. Why do you like me?”He shifted away from me then, his brows pulled together making him look even cuter, if that was possible. “I don’t understand the question.” His hands were squeezing mine tightly as he looked down at them. “You’re my Lilly. You’ve always been my Lilly. "
8 " I dream of you. And I don’t like it when I can’t talk to you or see you or touch you.” His eyes found mine again. “That’s love. "
9 " This emptiness inside of me here,” he placed my hand on his chest, “means I love you. When you’re not here, I can’t focus. It’s too loud . . . But my heartbeat does this when you’re close. "
10 " I think sometimes we’re presented with the truth but we don’t want to believe it. We see things the way we want to see them. Sometimes, we choose to live in denial. "
11 " FRIENDSHIP: A true friend is one soul in two bodies – Aristotle. "
12 " With a small sigh he squeezed my hand tighter. “I wish you were like me. "
13 " No,” he whispered. “You’re my beautiful Lilly. The one who makes everything right in my world. "
14 " Talking with you would be much more enjoyable than talking with Talia, Lilly.” His eyes scanned the floor by my feet. “She’s paint by number; you’re a watercolor. "
15 " I don’t believe there’s such a thing as conventional love. Love is bending. Love is breaking. Love is constantly learning about the other person until you go crazy because it will never be perfect, but there’s no fault in trying. I’ve loved a boy who was extraordinary beyond words, in my eyes. "
16 " I do . . . love you. If you needed me to say it before you should have told me so. I know what it means. "
17 " Yeah.” He rolled his eyes. “Whatever.” And then he looked at me and the corner of his mouth pulled up into a sly smile. “They taught us that tonight to help us blend in with our peers. "
18 " You’re my quiet, Lilly. "
19 " I’m sorry. Was that gross?” I asked, wanting to melt into the floor and just die. He shook his head slowly and then looked at me for a second. “I’d like to try this after you’ve brushed your teeth. "
20 " She’s paint by number; you’re a watercolor. "
