Ashley’s Quotes

“For the one you love? Anything. You unmake the world and build a new one. You do anything to give them what they need.”

“Reading love stories isn’t frivolous. It’s profound. It’s not escape, it’s the opposite. Trust me, and trust yourself: love stories are the best kinds of therapy. They aren’t shallow, they’re deep. Start looking and you’ll see it, too. Love stories make us better at love. In all directions. And getting better at love of course, means getting better at life.”
― Katherine Center, The Love Haters

“I think of all the times in my life when I’ve stayed quiet because it was more comfortable than speaking up.”
― Carley Fortune, One Golden Summer

“That longing to be looked at lovingly? That longing to be lovable … that’s really also so much about wanting to be valued, and seen, and connected, and safe, and just deeply, fundamentally okay? Maybe we didn’t have to outsource that. Maybe we could fill that longing for ourselves.”
― Katherine Center, The Love Haters
