“You, my girl, are whoever you decide to be. But I hope you always keep some piece of that girl who sat by the window, hoping for the best. Life’s short enough without us talking ourselves out of hope and trying to dodge every bad feeling. Sometimes you have to push through the discomfort, instead of running.”
Emily Henry, Funny Story

“I’ll tell ya what,” Mr. McCall said, lips slick with beef marrow, “I wouldn’t mind taking a crack at the animal once they catch him.” This man was a Christian. Mrs. McCall stood with a trained smile. “Who wants coffee with dessert?” “Give me twenty minutes alone in a room with him,” Brian agreed, in a ravenous, juicy way that churned my stomach. This became something of a Rorschach test over the years. There were men who cracked their knuckles while divulging to me what they would do to The Defendant if they got the chance, thinking this was somehow reassuring for me to hear. But all it did was make me realize that there wasn’t so big a difference between the man who’d brutalized Denise and half the men I passed every day on the street.”
Jessica Knoll, Bright Young Women

“And I know I'm not who you pictured yourself with, but I think I could be, eventually. If you'll let me. So don't go. Because I don't want you to. Because you're my best friend, and I'm in love with you.”
Emily Henry, Funny Story

Emily Henry
“I feel a pang of longing. Nostalgia, I guess, for every library I’ve ever loved, and the little girl who dreamed of this: being the first person in and the last out of a building brimming with books. And feeling like it belonged to me in a way, and I to it. A home, when nowhere else felt right. Harvey takes a deep breath. “Don’t you love the way it smells?” “So, so much,” I say. “That right there,” he says, “is why I can’t retire. If I could live in this feeling, I would.”
Emily Henry, Funny Story

“You often said that the world did not understand people like us or why we feel the way we do, which was why it was a bad idea to express our love in public. I, on the other hand, tended to forget reality. Deep down I knew the risks, but being with you made me careless. Your love made me not want to hide behind masks anymore. I wanted the things normal people have, things like the approving smiles of strangers when we were out on a date, followed by my girlfriend’s remarks at how perfect our relationship was in contrast to theirs. I was naive to believe that the world could bend for us, that our love was powerful enough to alter minds.”
Musih Tedji Xaviere, These Letters End in Tears
