“All I can think about is how fucked up it would be for your life to end here, now. I mean I know that your life if fucked up no matter what now, forever. And I'm not dumb enough to think that I can undo that, that anyone can. But I can't wrap my mind around the notion of you not getting old, having kids, going to Juilliard, getting to play that cello in front of a huge audience, so that they can get the chills the way I do every time I see you pick up your bow, every time I see you smile at me.”
― Gayle Forman, If I Stay

“Goodness… You gotta make it out of badness... Because there isn’t anything else to make it out of.”

“Let us ride our own orbits and trust that they will meet. May our reunion be not a finding but a sweet collision of destinies!”
