“...'the single bullet theory'...with the love of your life. Everybody's got one person out there. One bullet. And if you're lucky in life, you get to meet that person. And once you do, once you're shot through the heart, then there's nobody else. No matter what happens--death, divorce, infidelity, whatever--nobody else can ever come close.”
― Michael Connelly, The Scarecrow

“And yes, we all still fell it. Everyone who loves you feels it. And while I don't really relive your death anymore, I still miss you like hell. I miss you so much. Especially when something happens that I know you would think was funny. I catch myself laughing and then all of a sudden I realize I'm the only one laughing and it hits me that I was expecting you to laugh too. I miss your laugh.
I could go on and on about all the things I miss about you to the point that I start to feel sorry for myself again. But I've learned over the past year what it really means to be able to miss someone. In order to miss someone, that means you were privileged enough to have them in your life to begin with.”
― Colleen Hoover, Losing Hope

“It's going to be like this from now on...The longer we live, the more of our friends we'll lose.”
― Connie Schultz, . . . and His Lovely Wife: A Memoir from the Woman Beside the Man

“The trouble with death is that there is no next. There is only what was and for that I am profoundly and heartbrokenly grateful.”
― Emma Thompson, Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman
