Kindle Notes & Highlights
I had yet to learn that nothing in this world can ever match the marvels that we conjure up in our own minds.

“If a person truly has the ability to love, then he can never monopolize his beloved. And neither can his beloved monopolize him. The more he spreads his love, the more he adores his one and only true love. When love spreads, it does not diminish.”
“I actually don’t really enjoy dancing, but sometimes the person I’m dancing with does and so I find a way to bear it.”
“Neither am I…but never mind, friendship is all about making sacrifices.”
That night I came to understand how it was possible to be more attached to another person than to life itself. And that night I also came to understand how hollow life would be without her.
