“If you announce to your ex that you have made the decision to no longer talk to him, he's going to view it as a tactic to get him back. Your chances of getting him back will then be slim.”
― Leandra De Andrade, This Girl's Got an Ex: A Smart Girl’s Guide to Getting an ex Back and Making him Realize What he’s Lost

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
― Bob Marley

“You’re not a quiet person.
But somehow your silence is even louder than you. I’m tired of talking to it.”
― Josie Eamer, I Want To Know You When You’re Forty

“Though he means me harm, I will miss him. I will miss the way he moves through the world, as though nothing could be so terrible that he might not laugh at it.”
― Holly Black, The Stolen Heir
