“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“If you were standing next to the person you loved more than everything else, wasn't everything else just scenery?”
― Rainbow Rowell, Landline

“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“The geography of the thing wasn’t the point; it didn’t matter where they were: there was still too much space between them.”
― Jennifer E. Smith, This Is What Happy Looks Like
