- "There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment. "
- "Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend."
- "Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you."
- "Don't think or judge, just listen."
- "It's all in the view. That's what I mean about forever, too. For any one of us our forever could end in an hour, or a hundred years from now. You never know for sure, so you'd better make every second count."
- "There comes a time in every life when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your heart."
- "I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed. "
- "Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there."
- "Because this is what happens when you try to run from the past. It just doesn’t catch up, it overtakes … blotting out the future."
- "It was just one of those things," I said, "You know, that just happen. You don't think or plan. You just do it.""
- "Sometimes it seems safer to hold it all in, where the only person who can judge is yourself."
- "You can't always get the perfect moment. Sometimes, you just have to do the best you can under the circumstances."
- "It's just that...I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is."
- "I thought again how you could never really know what you were seeing with just a glance, in motion, passing by. Good or bad, right or wrong. There was always so much more."
- "There has to be a middle. Without it, nothing can ever truly be whole. Because it is not just the space between, but also what holds everything together."
- Maybe even forever.That was the thing. You just never knew. Forever was so many different things. It was always changing, it was what everything was really all about. It was twenty minutes, or a hundred years, or just this instant, or any instant I wished would last and last. But there was only one truth about forever that really mattered, and that was this: it was happening.
- "And the rest is history," I said. "Nah." He shook his head. "The rest is now."
- "whatever happened--good,bad, or anywhere in between--it was always, if nothing else, all your own."
- "You get what you give, but also what you're willing to take."
- "Alot can change between planning something and actually doing it. But maybe all that really matters is that anything is different at all."
- "But sometimes, we just have to be happy with what people can offer us. Even if it's not what we want, at least it's something."
- "The further you go, the more you have to be proud of. At the same time, in order to come a long way, you have to be behind to begin with. In the end, though, maybe it's not how you reach a place that matters. Just that you get there at all."
- "Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or eve a person. No matter what else has changed in your or the world, that once song stays the same, just like that moment. Which is pretty amazing, when you actually thing about it."
- "I mean, at the very least you should tell yourself the truth. If you can't trust yourself, who can you trust? You know?"
- "IF you don't pay attention to the past, you'll never understand the future. It's all linked together. You see what I'm saying?"
