“Friends are automatically classed as 'less important' than romantic partners. I'd never questioned that. It was just the way the world was. I guess I'd always felt that friendship just couldn't compete with what a partner offered, and that I'd never really experience real love until I found romance.
But if that had been true, I probably wouldn't have felt like this.”
― Alice Oseman, Loveless

“I hadn’t realized I was crying. I don’t really feel sad. I don’t really feel anything.”
― Alice Oseman, Solitaire

“Give your friendships the magic you would give a romance. Because they're just as important. Actually, for us, they're way more important.”
― Alice Oseman, Loveless

“You know why people pair up into couples? Because being a human is fucking terrifying. But it's a hell of a lot easier if you're not doing it by yourself.”
― Alice Oseman, Loveless
