“You can live your whole life not realizing that what you're looking for is right in front of you.”
― David Nicholls, One Day

“As always, one of her books was next to her.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“Deep down, underneath all his layers of stupidity, he’s a really good
man. He may act out far too many selfish thoughts, says all the wrong things
at all the wrong times, but behind closed doors he’s a best friend. I understand
that he has idiotic tendencies and I can still love him for it. He may not
be someone that you feel comfortable sitting next to at a dinner party but for
me, he’s someone that I feel comfortable sharing my life with.”
― Cecelia Ahern, Love, Rosie

“He's a better person when she's around, and isn't that what friends are for, to raise you up and keep you at your best?”
― David Nicholls, One Day
