“Explosives.
Opioids.
Nuclear weapons.
None of them could hold a candle to hope, the most dangerous commodity in the world.”
― Jodi Picoult, By Any Other Name

“I hope you never have to watch the one person you love most in the world, the person who loves you just as fiercely in return, lose that love, day by day, bit by bit, a steady draining away until there’s nothing left. Until they’re just a person who sleeps inches from you at night, and eats meals across a table from you, and reads books at your side, even smiles at you or laughs with you, but whose heart has shut you out forever.”
― Rachel Hawkins, The Heiress

“Never underestimate the power of love to lead you down the path toward willful blindness. Faith in the people you adore doesn’t disappear slowly, with each tiny disappointment; instead, it collapses all at once, like the final snowfall that triggers an avalanche when the weight suddenly becomes too much to bear.”
― Janelle Brown, What Kind of Paradise

“I think those of us who love love stories are junkies for that joyful, blissed-out feeling of anticipating the happily ever after that’s a guarantee of the genre.
All genres have their guarantees, by the way: Sleuths will solve the mystery, thrillers will save the hero in the nick of time, superheroes will vanquish the villains at last. Part of what we like about the genres we like is the anticipation of those guarantees. We like to see the mystery solved, and the hero saved, and the villains vanquished. It feels good.”
― Katherine center, The Shippers
