Right Guy, Wrong Word

Diversity is beautiful. If everyone had the same taste, life would be boring.”

innocent arrogance. An oxymoron?

“Books aren’t life. People use them to escape life, learn things that will help them achieve success, or find new ways to cope with life. Life is what happens outside the bound story. Life isn’t the letters on the page; it’s what inspires those words.”

My love for you isn’t dependent on saying or doing the right thing. My love for you accepts imperfections.

But more than anything, my love for you is honest. And if you don’t trust that my love for you is greater than any spoken word, greater than a critical observation about a painting, another man’s feelings toward you, or a book … then it isn’t enough. But if my love for you isn’t enough, then no one’s love will be enough. And I know this because no man will love you like I do.”

Loving u has been a favorite pastime of mine for longer than I have ever admitted to anyone

And I won’t stop anytime soon. We were almost perfect

“What’s that saying about hiding treasures in plain sight and no one will find them? That’s those damn books. Men have been trying to figure out women since the beginning of time, and women decided to hide their secrets in the very books that make us roll our eyes at them when they read them.”

“It’s e-enough. Y-you’re enough … we’re enough.”

If love isn’t enduring, I’m not sure it’s really love.

If you focus on the central underlying theme of romances that have happily ever afters, there’s one simple thing the heroine wants—for the hero never to let go. She wants to feel pursued, irreplaceable and understood. She doesn’t want to feel less than anything or anyone. She wants you to

walk beside her and have her back. And some days, she might need you to catch her if she starts to fall. And if you can love her flaws, she will make you her world.

It’s okay to love something and not be the best at it. It’s not failure. You helped me see that.”
