Quotes by Carola Lovering (?)

“People always talk about realizing they’re in love during the happy moments, but I think you realize it in the bad ones. The ones that knock you off center, scaring you when they prove that no matter what kind of logic is in your head, it’s what’s in your heart that determines fucking everything.”
― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies

“It’s funny—when you get what you want, it almost automatically decreases in value.”
― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies

“Love—real love—isn’t something you construct or hope or imagine or plan for the future. Love is something you live and feel in real time, in every single moment, big or small. It’s reciprocal and often unglamorous. But we bank on it because it’s what gives life meaning.”
― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
