“J’applaudis jusqu’à en avoir mal aux mains. J’applaudis comme si cela pouvait prolonger la soirée et la sensation que j’éprouve. Et parce que je sais qu’au moment où je vais arrêter, il arrivera la même chose qu’à la fin d’un beau film, quand le générique me renvoie à la réalité qui m’attend et me laisse le cœur serré.”
― Gayle Forman

“Si tu tiens vraiment à quelque chose dans la vie, eh bien, fais ce qu’il faut pour ne pas le perdre.”
― Anna Gavalda, La Vie en mieux

“There are monsters all around us
They can be so hard to see
hey don't have fangs, no blood-soaked claws
They look like you and me.

But we're not defenseless
We're no damsels in distress
Together we can fend off the attack
All we gotta do is watch our backs.

Your body is beautiful how it is
Who you love is nobody's business
We all contemplate life and death
It's the poet who gives these thoughts
breath.

The monster is strong, don't be mistaken
It thrives on fear-keeps us isolated
But together we can fend off its attack
All we gotta do is watch our backs.

In your darkest hour
When the fight's made you weary
When you think you've lost your power
When you can't see clearly
When you're ready to surrender
Give in to the black
look over your shoulder
I've got your back.”
― Gayle Forman, Sisters in Sanity

“Sometimes you can only feel something by its absence. By the empty spaces it leaves behind.”
― Gayle Forman, Just One Day
