“Sometimes two people have to fall apart, to realize how much they need to fall back together.” - Colleen Hoover

• This is the collection of my favorite quotes from Colleen Hoover's books

∞ Hopeless

• Dean Holder? Messy brown hair? Smoldering blue eyes? A temper straight out of Fight Club?”
• “F#%k all the firsts, Sky. The only thing that matters to me with you are the forevers.”
• “I want you to keep them open...because I need you to watch me give you the very last piece of my heart.”
• “You don't deserve words, Sky. You deserve actions.”
• “My lack of access to the real world has been replaced completely by books, and it can’t be healthy to live in a land of happily ever afters.”
• ".... I want your first kiss to be the best first kiss in the history of first kisses.”
• “Sometimes you have to choose between a bunch of wrong choices and no right ones. You just have to choose which wrong choices feels the least wrong.”

☪☪☪

• ∞ Losing Hope
• “But I'm not falling in love with her piece by piece anymore. I'm in love with the whole girl. Every single piece of her.”

∞ Slammed

• “Don't take life too seriously. Punch it in the face when it needs a good hit. Laugh at it.”
• “So you keep your ocean, I'll take the Lake.”

∞ Maybe Someday

• “Sometimes in life, we need a few bad days in order to keep the good ones in perspective.”
• “We try so hard to hide everything we're really feeling from those who probably need to know our true feelings the most.”
• “A life of mediocrity is a waste of a life.”

☪☪☪

• ∞ Maybe Not
  • “The only difference between falling in love and being in love is that your heart already knows how you feel, but your mind is too stubborn to admit it.”

∞ Ugly Love

• “Love isn't always pretty. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it'll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you're back to square one, and you lost your heart somewhere along the way.”
• “God gives us the ugliness so we don’t take the beautiful things in life for granted.”
• “When life gives you lemons, make sure you know whose eyes you need to squeeze them in.”
• “It's the beautiful moments like this that make up for the ugly love”

∞ Confess

• “There are people you meet that you get to know, and then there are people you meet that you already know.”
• “I'm afraid if I listen to my heart once, I'll never figure out how to ignore it again.”
• “I’ll love you forever. Even when I can’t.”

∞ November 9

• “You’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else.”
• “When you find love, you take it. You grab it with both hands and you do everything in your power not to let it go. You can’t just walk away from it and expect it to linger until you’re ready for it.”
• “If we’re going to kiss, it has to be book-worthy.”

∞ It Ends With Us

• “There is no such thing as bad people. We’re all just people who sometimes do bad things.”
• “All humans make mistakes. What determines a person's character aren't the mistakes we make. It's how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses.”
• “Naked truths aren’t always pretty.”
• “And as hard as this choice is, we break the pattern before the pattern breaks us.”

∞ Without Merit

• “Not every mistake deserves a consequence. Sometimes the only thing it deserves is forgiveness.”
• “Don’t make your presence known. Make your absence felt.”
• “Tuqburni is used to describe the all-encompassing feeling of not being able to live without someone. Which is why the literal translation is, ‘You bury me.”
• “It annoys me when people try to convince other people that their anger or stress isn’t warranted if someone else in the world is worse off than them. It’s bullshit. Your emotions and reactions are valid, Merit. Don’t let anyone tell you any different. You’re the only one who feels them.”
• “If silence were a river, your tongue would be the boat.”
• “I think we all just got to a point where we were waiting for someone else to initiate it, but no one ever did. Maybe that’s the root of a lot of family issues. It isn’t actually the issues people are hung up about for so long. It’s that no one has the courage to take the first step in talking about the issues.”
