Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Oh, honey, it’s wrong to judge someone on something they’re born with, like their race or sexual orientation. But if you choose to be an idiot, that’s a different story.”
“You’re not happy. You’re safe. They’re two different things. You said that to me once, and it was totally true. So now I’m saying it to you, and I’m going to say something else that you’re not going to like but you really need to hear. Are you ready?” “Absolutely not.” Chloe ignores that. She leans even farther over the table and looks deep into my eyes. “You didn’t die in that car crash with your parents, Grace. You just stopped living.”
“You are a lion. You are a tiger. You were given this life because you’re strong enough to live it. Now get out there and let them hear your motherfucking roar!”
Bad shit happens. Good shit happens. Life happens. You can’t take any one thing and point to it as proof that life is any one way or the other. Life just is. And it keeps going.”
“Love isn’t something you choose, Angelface. It chooses you. And even if it only lasts a little while, it’s worth it. Even if it ends in flames, it’s worth it. Even if it cuts out your heart and leaves you a bruised, bloody mess, it’s worth it.”
“Because it’s love. Love is the only thing that really matters in this life. Love is everything.”
“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”
The best churches don’t have stained glass windows or statues of dead saints or even ceilings and walls. You don’t need a building to find forgiveness. You don’t need communion wafers and holy water to be blessed. And miracles are everywhere. All you have to do is look.
