“Oh, I wouldn't mind, Hazel Grace. It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“You
see, I came into this world just like I’m assuming
you did—full of excitement and
promise. I wanted to do so much good work,
help so many people, and give as much as I
could to those who needed me. But then I
learned a very harsh lesson—the world
doesn’t always give back. I am not a tragic case of the world; I am
the world—cruel, unfair, and not a fairy tale.
People are not born heroes or villains;
they’re created by the people around them.
And one day when your bright-eyed and
bushy-tailed view of life gets its first taste of
reality, when bitterness and anger first run
through your veins, you’ll discover that you
are just like me—and it’ll scare you to death.”
― Chris Colfer, The Enchantress Returns

“Lack of communication has a way of clipping our wings, which keeps us from flying. When things are left unspoken, we forget that everyone is destined to share the sky together.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“Some old wounds never truly heal, and bleed again at the slightest word.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
