“On those we love:
"Every year that passed, it seemed a little more of her had slipped away; and I began to fear that one day I would come to forget her altogether. But the truth is: No matter how much time passes, those we have loved never slip away from us entirely.”
― Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

“… other people’s view of her said far more about them than it ever did about her. She was very accustomed to seeing herself through someone else’s eyes—”
― Olivie Blake, The Atlas Paradox

“People like us are not victims. We’re someone’s nightmare.”
― Laura Thalassa, Rhapsodic

“But even so, sometimes, the heartbreak that comes with loving someone is worth it, even if loving that person means eventually saying goodbye to them.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire
