“Nothing is more tragic than loving someone to the depths of your soul and knowing they cannot and will not ever love you back.”
― Rick Riordan, The Hidden Oracle

“Pain is an interesting thing. You think you have reached your limit and you can’t possibly feel more tortured. Then you discover there is still another level of agony. And another level after that”
― Rick Riordan, The Burning Maze

“That is the nature of grief. But to grieve means you have loved. To love opens up the possibility for grief. There cannot be one without the other.”
― Rin Chupeco, The Heart Forger

“Just as we cannot force ourselves to love someone, we cannot force ourselves to unlove them, either. Fate can be foolish, and fate can be careless. But fate is always true.”
― Jennifer Hartmann, June First
