—Emily Giffin, Love the One You’re With
“2 A.M. You know. The person you can call at two a.m. and, no matter what, you can count on them. Even if they’re asleep or its cold or you need to be bailed out of jail…they’ll come for you. It’s like the highest level of friendship.”
—Sarah Dessen, What Happened to Goodbye
“That was the thing. You never got used to it, the idea of someone being gone. Just when you think it’s reconciled, accepted, someone points it out to you, and it just hits you all over again.”
—Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever

“It all just seems so fake. This idea that good things happen to good people and there’s magic in the world, and that the meek and righteous will inherit it. There’s too many good people who suffer for something like that to be true.”

“I miss that feeling when you go to sleep at night and when you wake up in the morning. It’s the feeling that everything is all right in the world. You know that amazing feeling that you’re a whole, that you’ve got everything you want, that you aren’t missing anything. Sometimes when I wake up I get it for just a moment. It lasts for a few seconds but then I remember what happened, and how nothing has been the same since.”
—Charlie St. Cloud

“I’m just astonished at how much you learn as you grow older and how it never stops. When I was 21, I realized that I didn’t know anything at 17, and then at 25, I realized I didn’t know anything at 21, and now at 31, I realized I didn’t know anything at 25. But it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. I’m always wondering if when I’m 80, am I gonna be looking back to when I was 75 and going, you know, “That person didn’t know anything?” When does that process of growing stop?”
—Jesse Lacey
“It was one of those awkward relationship moments where you feel like you know nothing about the person you thought you knew everything about.”

—Daniel Keyes, Flowers for Algernon
“Someone with a great sense of humor is the most important thing, and someone who really supports me in everything I do. I don’t ever want to make an excuse for trying to work hard and having my own life. I love a guy that supports that and loves that.”
—Lauren Conrad
