“Nothing unites two people so completely, especially if, like you and me, all they have is words.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Felice

“No matter what had happened, how deeply something hurt you, the world continued to spin, and you continued to breathe. Things might suck for a while, sometimes a long while, but eventually you would be able to function again.”
― Natasha Preston, Covert

“Everyone says that getting over somebody 'just takes time' and that one day it will stop hurting and the door will open for you to move on. We are also told that love is eternal; something extraordinary that will stay with you forever... The contradiction is immense.”
― Natasha Preston, Broken Silence

“Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivations for living. Some of us, in time, become so conscious of it that we live harder, more obstinately, with more fury. Some need its constant presence to even be aware of its antithesis. Others become so preoccupied with it that they go into the waiting room long before it has announced its arrival. We fear it, yet most of us fear more than anything that it may take someone other than ourselves. For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by. And leave us there alone.”
― Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove
