“I wonder we're all just the product of our parents' fears and failings, and their parents before them. I wonder how far back the cycle goes, whether I'm predisposed to being mentally ill, whether I have any choice in how my life unfolds, or the person that I'm destined to be. You could go mad trying to figure it out.”
― Hazel Hayes, Out of Love

“The people you love weren’t algebra: to be calculated, subtracted, or held at arm’s length across a decimal point.”

“People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is, "You're safe with me" - that's intimacy.

Please never forget that the sun rises and sets with your smile. At least to me it does. You're the only thing on this plant worth worshipping.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid
