The Selection Series Collection (The Selection #1-4)

by Kiera Cass

if you can keep from letting fear make you settle for second best, then I can’t ask for anything more from you as a parent. Live your life. Be as happy as you can be, let go of the things that don’t matter, and fight.

America, my love, you are sunlight falling through trees. You are laughter that breaks through sadness. You are the breeze on a too-warm day. You are clarity in the midst of confusion. You are not the world, but you are everything that makes the world good. Without you, my life would still exist, but that’s all it would manage to do.

“Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway.”

“I’ll love you until my very last breath. Every beat of my heart is yours. I don’t want to die without you knowing that.”
