“But the visions have taught me differently. Dad getting engaged to the
woman he cheated on Mom with taught me differently. Yes, falling in love
requires a leap of faith. But people only jump because they don’t know what
the ground looks like. They believe their landing will be soft. That the ground
is covered in soft stuff—feathers, down pillows, fluffy baby blankets, the
shaggiest shag carpeting. But I’ve seen the ground. It is covered in lethal
spikes fashioned from the bones of other jumpers.
The fall is not at all survivable.”
― Nicola Yoon, Instructions for Dancing

“Maybe love isn’t something that comes full circle. It just ebbs and flows, in and out, just like the people in our lives”
― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

“No one is exclusively bad, nor is anyone exclusively good. Some are just forced to work harder at suppressing the bad.”
― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

“I don’t believe in love at first sight or soul mates or any of that guff you see
in the movies. You know, where you meet someone in an impossibly
coincidental way and you lock eyes and true, everlasting love ensues.”
― Ciara Smyth
