“That's how hearts get broken, you know. When you believe in promises.”

“Somehow I sensed what was coming for me even then. Really, though, what girl doesn't? It looms over you, the threat of violence. They drill the danger into your head until it starts to feel inevitable. You grow up wondering when it's finally going to happen.”

“But loving somebody isn't perfection and good times and laughing and making love. Love is forgiveness and patience and faith and every once in a while, it's a gut punch. That's why it's a dangerous thing, when you go loving the wrong person. When you love somebody who doesn't deserve it. You have to be with someone that deserves your faith and you have to be deserving of someone else's. It's sacred.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

“I’d found my person.
She was the foundation. She was the thing that all other things are built on. Everything was secondary to being with her. It didn’t matter where I worked or if I liked my job, where I lived or how many kids I had. My happiness, my sanity, my well-being – it all started with her. And now that I knew that, I didn’t want to just be her boyfriend – I wanted everything.”
― Abby Jimenez, The Friend Zone
