“This thing about you that you think is your flaw - it's the reason I'm falling in love with you.”
― Colleen hoover, Slammed

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“Bad is not an absolute, but a relative term. Ask the robber who used the cash he stole to feed his infant; the rapist who was sexually abused as a child; the kidnapper who truly believed he was saving a life. And just because you break the law doesn't mean you have intentionally crossed the line into evil. Sometimes the line creeps up on you, and before you know it, you're standing on the other side.”
― Jodi Picoult, Vanishing Acts

“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”
― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time
