“For the most part, you don't hold the people you love in your heart because they rescued you from drowning or pulled you from a burning house. Mostly you hold them in your heart because they save you, in a million quiet and perfect ways, from being alone.”
― Jeff Zentner, Goodbye Days

“You're like a grey sky. You're beautiful, even though you don't want to be.”
― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes

“Because Liz Emerson held so much darkness within her that closing her eyes didn't make much of a difference at all.”
― Amy Zhang, Falling into Place

“You think it's so easy to change yourself. You think it's so easy, but it's not. True, things don't stay the same forever: couches are replaced, boys leave, you discover a song, your body becomes forever scarred. And with each of these moments you change and change again, your true self spinning, shifting positions-- but always at last it returns to you, like a dancer on the floor. Because throughout it all, you are still, always, you: beautiful and bruised, known and unknowable. And isn't that - just you - enough.”
― Leila Sales, This Song Will Save Your Life
