Quotes by Rebecca Hanover (?)

“It’s Levi. Levi, who carried Pru to safety from the boathouse. Levi, who loves classic novels as much as I do. Levi, who sees me for who I am and excepts the good along with the bad. Who’s never known me as anything less than complicated and broken. And who’s loved me anyway.”
― Rebecca Hanover, The Pretenders

tags: love, the-one, unconditional-love

“I smile, because I think I finally know who I am now, or who I might become, anyway. I think I might like her.”
― Rebecca Hanover, The Pretenders

tags: confidence, contentment

“Would living like that -with no thoughts, no identity, no way to survive- even be worth it? That thought is scarier than letting the smoke overtake us. Much scarier than dying here, together, knowing we did everything we could for the people we love.”
― Rebecca Hanover, The Pretenders
