And they have to like you back. A perfect alignment of feelings and circumstances. It’s almost unfathomable that it happens as often as it does.”
― Becky Albertalli, The Upside of Unrequited

“I mean, I think people have this mentality that sex is only real if it involves a penis.”

“Real life was something happening in her peripheral vision.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
