“You don't know when you're twenty-three.
You don't know what it really means to crawl into someone else's life and stay there. You can't see all the ways you're going to get tangled, how you're going to bond skin to skin. How the idea of separating will feel in five years, in ten - in fifteen. When Georgie thought about divorce now, she imagined lying side by side with Neal on two operating tables while a team of doctors tried to unthread their vascular systems.
She didn't know at twenty-three.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Landline

“She thought of ... the way he never made made her feel crazy, even when she was acting crazy, and never made her feel like a failure, even when she was failing.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Landline

“At least Georgie was probably going to be one of those cool single women, one with an interesting job and a dashing best friend and good hair. She could probably have halfway decent one-night stands if she loosened up her standards.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Landline

“I will never have made my mark on the world.   The pointlessness of it all is not what dreams are made of.  It is certainly not what my dreams are made of.   Or were made of.  I’ve lost track these days.”
― Beth Labonte, What Stays in Vegas
