“And I couldn’t love a lie anymore.”
Katherine Grace Bond, The Summer of No Regrets
“Maybe love is just hormones or endorphins—not some great force all around us. Maybe that’s just nonsense. It’s always seemed to me that love is about being found—the way you might find your missing cat because you knew he had a notch on his left ear and came to the sound of knew he had a notch on his left ear and came to the sound of pebbles rattling in a can. But maybe that isn’t the way things work. Maybe you can only be “found” for a little while. Just like
Joseph and Isuza LaRonge discovered, “forever” isn’t really forever. Everything ends. Everything is lost eventually.”

“2If he wasn’t who he said he was, wouldn’t he have been honest with me by now?”

“Being mad was ridiculous, but I was—furious: at Dad for talking to spirits when he'd always said religion was unreasonable, at Mallory for making everything mysterious into a psychological problem, and at Mom and Dad for making us choose.
Why couldn't we be Baptist like Tarah's family? Or Jewish like Natalie's? We’d be together in a religion, not at this pot luck Mom and Dad called “spirituality,” where everyone floated around in an individual bubble.”

“Why do people pay for entertainment? Because they believe that’s not a real human on the screen. Nobody wants to watch someone ordinary. So the Industry takes ordinary people and decorates [them.] It makes [them] more than [they] really are.”
