“I think it's the bravest thing in the world - to run straight at love, even knowing how badly you could get hurt.”
― Emery Lord, Open Road Summer

“Life is long. Just because you don't get your chance right when you want or expect it doesn't mean it won't come. Fate doesn't punch a time clock or consult a schedule.”
― Sarah Dessen, The Moon and More

“Sometimes you have to endure painful things to realize that you're a whole lot stronger than you think.”
― Jenn Bennett, Alex, Approximately

“You are the only person who can build emotional barriers, but you're also the only person who can topple them. Other people can't knock down the walls you've built, no matter how much they love you. You have to tear them down yourself because there's something worth seeing on the other side.”
― Emery Lord, Open Road Summer
