Andrea Portes
“You get one chance.

You get to do this and that and you don't even know when it goes from swirling forward and around and around in circles to just a plain cold stop and nothing more. Can you believe it? All this time I've spent weighing this and weighing that, worrying about this and worrying about that, living back then and living forward, caring about so-and-so, too, but never living here, here, this moment here. Never even acknowledging that this moment even exists, and it hits me like a live volt through the chest.”
Andrea Portes, Anatomy of a Misfit

Jojo Moyes
“Push yourself. Don't Settle. Just live well. Just LIVE.”
Jojo Moyes, Me Before You

Jess Rothenberg
“You can obsess and obsess over how things ended—what you did wrong or could have done differently—but there's not much of a point. It's not like it'll change anything. So really, why worry?”
Jess Rothenberg, The Catastrophic History of You and Me

Jojo Moyes
“Some mistakes... Just have greater consequences than others. But you don't have to let the result of one mistake be the thing that defines you. You, Clark, have the choice not to let that happen.”
Jojo Moyes, Me Before You

Andrea Portes
“Ceaseless.
Almost too much for this small frame.
You make me part of the sky.”
Andrea Portes, Anatomy of a Misfit
