A Complicated Love Story Set in Space Quotes

“I know we’ve never properly met, so you’ve got no reason to believe me, but I think you’re wrong about love. Love isn’t war. Life is the war; love is a truce you find in the middle of all that violence. And I bet there’s someone out there who loves you, even if you don’t know them yet.”

“There was nothing funny about the situation, but I laughed anyway. I'd done the same thing during Grandpa Andy's funeral. Busted out laughing right during Father Diaz's opening prayer.

“I could hear DJ breathing, so I knew he was still there, but he didn't speak for what felt like forever. A second is a second no matter what, right? It's a measurement, and those are kind of absolute even if they're made up. But time is also relative to the person experiencing it. That's why the last minute hugging your best friend before they leave for LA to spend the summer with their grandparents feels shorter than a heartbeat, and why the last minute before the last bell rings on the last day of school feels like an hour.”

“You've got to find your own thing. DJ's found his."
"What?" I asked. "Being perfect?"
"You." Jenny looked at me like it should have been obvious. "Taking care of you, trying to get you home. If you asked him to capture you a comet, he'd try to find a way to do it." She shrugged. "We all need a hobby, and you, inexplicably, are his.”
