“A conversation he’s been waiting for. Someone to come along and make his tragedies seem less tragic. It’s what you do when you’ve experienced the worst of the worst. You seek out people like you…people worse off than you…and you use them to make yourself feel better about the terrible things that have happened to you.”
― Colleen Hoover, Verity

“But is this how he’s going to spend the rest of his life? Giving up huge parts of himself to care for a woman who is just a shell of the person he married? I understand he made vows, but at what cost? His entire life? People get married assuming they’ll live long, happy lives together. What happens when one of those is cut short, but the other is expected to live out those vows for the rest of their life? It doesn’t seem fair.”
― Colleen Hoover, Verity

“I think atheists are the most religious people in the world. They say they want to do away with God, make a more rational world with science. But that’s only another way of saying they want to build a better God—one based on repeatable tests—an inescapable God named Reality. It’s the same unseemly monotheistic impulse to tighten the net that’s driven the wheel of murder for the last two thousand or so years. Deviate from the Trinity and you’re a heretic and you get burned at the stake. But fail to bow and scrape before Reality and, oh shit, you’re a lunatic.”

“They say blood is thicker than water. I say to hell with that. If blood mistreats you, better water. And if friends prove false, no matter, find better or be alone and be your own best friend.”
