22 " It turned out missing someone never became easier, it just became quieter. You learned to live with the longing pain inside you. You mourned the moments you’d shared and allowed yourself to hurt sometimes, too. "
23 " Maggie, I don't read." The combination of these four words create the saddest sentence I'd ever heard. "
24 " The world keeps spinning, because your heartbeats exist. "
25 " True love meant you could laugh at mistakes. True love meant you could whisper secrets. True love meant you never had to dance alone. "

27 " If I’ve learned anything in life, it’s that it doesn’t help to sit and play a situation over and over again in your head. You can’t change the past, but you can shape the future with the right now. "

34 " And you’re wrong about music, too. If you think for a second music can’t heal people, then you’re not listening closely enough. "
