“I had stepped into his arms, showing him my raw, broken heart.”

“I've seen what commitment leads to. Going in is the easy part. It's the ending that sucks!
-Remy”

“It was like that part of my life, was just gone. It was almost too easy, for something I once thought had meant everything.”

“The world is speaking to you every day, you just don't know how to listen.”

“I didnt pay atteniton to times or distance, instead focusing on how it felt just to be in motion, knowing it wasn't about the finish line but how I got there that mattered.”

“It was like discovering that some part of you wasn't yours at all. And it made me wonder what else I couldn't claim.”

“Their words, like the music, had the potential to be endless.”

“The truth was, I wasn't sure. But I wanted to keep believing people could change, and it was certainly easier to do so when you were in the midst of it.”

“That first love. And the first one who breaks your heart. For me, they just happen to be the same person.”

“So he didn't have to prove how he felt about me. Like so much else, I should just know.”

“How weird was it that so many bits and pieces, all diverse, could make something whole. Something with potential. 'Perfect.”

“Wes wants to be with Macy. And Macy, whether she'll admit it or not, wants to be with Wes. And yet they're not together, which is not only unjust, but when you think about it, tragical!”

“It's not always easy being her daughter.'

I think,' she said, 'sometimes it's hard no matter whose daughter you are.”

“Grieving doesn't make you imperfect. It makes you human.”

“It's true. It's like the hidden secret that no one tells you. we can all be beautiful girls, Colie. it's so easy. it's like Dorothy clicking her heels to go home. You could do it all along.”

“It was so weird, because usually I was totally nervous talking to guys. But Eli was different. He made me want to say more, not less. Which was maybe not a good thing.”

“Because if you were the problem, chances were you could also be the solution. The only way to find out was to take another shot.”

“It was so risky and so scary, and yet at the same time, so beautiful. Maybe the truth was, it shouldn't be easy to be amazing. Then everything would be. It's the things you fight for and struggle with before earning that have the greatest worth.”

“Then what are you like, Annabel?" he shot back. "A liar, like you told me that first day? Come on. That was the biggest lie of all.”

“You know, when it works, love is amazing. It's not overrated.”

“Morning would come before we knew it. It always did. But we still had the night, and for now, we were together, so I just closed my eyes and drank it all in.”

“That was the thing about being on the inside: the world was just going on, even when it seemed like time for you had stopped for good.”

“I mean, at first, it was kind of disappointing. But people recover from disappointment. Otherwise we'd all be hanging from nooses. Right?”

“Whenever you made a choice, especially one you'd been resisting, it always affected everything else, some in big ways, like a tremor beneath your feet, others in so tiny a shift you hardly noticed a change at all. But it was happening.”

“Harder to get in than out, like so little else.”

“I told you, everyone understands a quest.”

“Rogerson, I asked him sweetly as we sat watching a video in the pool house, where would I find the pelagic zone?”

“I don't lie."
"You don't lie," I repeated.
"That's what I said."
"Ever."
"Nope."
Sure you don't, I thought.”

“Life is long. Just because you don't get your chance right when you want or expect it doesn't mean it won't come. Fate doesn't punch a time clock or consult a schedule.”
