“It's the tragedy of loving, you can't love anything more than something you miss.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer

“Once, in my father's bookshop, I heard a regular customer say that few things leave a deeper mark on a reader than the first book that finds its way into his heart. Those first images, the echo of words we think we have left behind, accompany us throughout our lives and sculpt a palace in our memory to which, sooner or later—no matter how many books we read, how many worlds we discover, or how much we learn or forget—we will return.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Shadow of the Wind

“To love again, you must not discard what has happened to you, but take from it the strength you'll need to carry on.”
― Simon Van Booy, Everything Beautiful Began After

“Grief does not expire like a candle or the beacon on a lighthouse. It simply changes temperature.”
― Anthony Rapp, Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss and the Musical 'Rent'
