Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Maybe not all loves are supposed to? Maybe some are meant to end, teaching us lessons about ourselves and life.”
“If you haven’t realized how well I know you, then you’ve been pretending for a while.”
“Just because people don’t last forever doesn’t mean the feelings don’t.”
“What happened to borrowed time and all that bullshit?” “Reality.”
“Our words are weapons, and our actions are grenades, and we keep aiming them at each other. I don’t want to hurt you, and I can’t take being hurt by you, so one of us just has to pull the pin and let it blow up before it takes us both down.”
“We just crossed the mother fucking Rubicon. Everything’s changed.” I slide my fingers across her wet lips. “Everything.”
“I need you. I need you to stay here and have some fucking self-preservation. I need you in ways I’ve never needed anyone—in ways that scare the shit out of me. I need you because I don’t feel like myself without you.”
“I want you to consume me,”
“Astra indlinant, sed non obligant.” “I know this is tough to imagine, but not all of us speak Latin.” His lips tip higher. “It translates to the stars incline us, they do not bind us.”
“We have our own free will. That no star or god or any other power can force us to do anything.”
“I can’t promise this will be easy or that I will always be rational because you have the ability to undo everything inside of me with just a single glance, but we’ll figure this out.”
“Being a girl sucks,” she says, a dry chuckle follows her words. “There’s this impossible balance we’re all working to find: being tough without being too masculine, being smart without being arrogant, being kind without being a pushover, being beautiful without being prissy, being successful without being too informal. It’s this massive scale that is constantly in flux, and the joke is on us because everyone is judging us—constantly—and more often than not, we’re our own toughest critic.”
“I’m in this. I’m all in, and I know if I’d just told you how I felt after your accident, this would be easier, but I’ll do this. I’ll pull your weight and mine until you’re ready.”
