“But you have to live the life you have. You have to find inspiration in the struggle, and pull joy out of the hardship. That’s what we try to do—counterbalance the suffering with laughter, fuzzy blankets, hugs, sing-alongs, sunny-day picnics, chocolate chip cookies, and wildflowers. Because that’s all we can do: carry the sorrow when we have to, and absolutely savor the joy when we can. Life is always, always both.”
― Katherine Center, How to Walk Away

“The feeling you have of wanting me, of not wanting to share me? That feeling is love. I have it for you too. It’s like the wind and the sun, it just keeps coming. It’s infinite. There’s no end to the wind, no end to the sun. No end to my love. No knife in the world can cut it in half.”

“And is love more than the sum of its parts? If you lose all the parts of yourself that someone fell in love with, will they still love you?  Is there a love that says simply I love you because you exist?”
― Gracie Ruth Mitchell, Juniper Bean Resorts to Murder

“Don’t we all wish—beyond any gold or fame—to be right? To have some authority tell us with certainty that we’ve done the best we could with the life we have?”
