“Sometimes people don’t understand
the promises they’re making when they make them,” I said.
Isaac shot me a look. “Right, of course.
But you keep the promise anyway. That’s

― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“But many of us seek community solely to escape the fear of being alone. Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.”
― Bell Hooks, All About Love: New Visions

“No matter how hard you kick, no matter how high you get, you can't go all the way around.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“Sometimes the right thing feels all wrong until it is over and done with.”
― Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic
