“Why can moms always see into the dark recesses of your soul? I'll admit it. In my own life, I've never been the leading role. I just don't have that star power. Wasn't born with it. I've always been a sidekick. My singular purpose is to bolster heroes, stay in the background, and maybe, in one big onscreen moment, sacrifice my life for the greater good. So far it's served me well. If you don't fly too high, you don't have too far to fall.”

“You can keep ignoring all the feelings you don't like, all the ones you can't do anything about, except you're going to find out life isn't only about doing the hard things. Sometimes it is about feeling them. And maybe I'm one to talk because I barely have a handle on any of it, but it seems to me if you don't let yourself feel the bad stuff, you're not gonna let yourself have the good stuff either. And the worst part is you'll be too busy lying to yourself to notice.”
― Michelle Quach, The Boy You Always Wanted
