“I was a wound, half-healed-over and scraped raw again. "Everybody Hurts" was running through my mind. I could see the consolation of it, the idea that your pain wasn't unique.

― Emily Henry, Beach Read

“How can we ever learn to love each other if we don't know each other's stories?”

― Marie Lu, The Kingdom of Back

“Bad things don't dig down through your life until the pit's so deep that nothing good will ever be big enough to make you happy again. No matter how much shit, there will always be wildflowers.”
