“Liz looked back and counted the bodies, all those lives she had ruined simply by existing. So she chose to stop existing.”
― Amy Zhang, Falling into Place

“You think it's so easy to change yourself. You think it's so easy, but it's not. True, things don't stay the same forever: couches are replaced, boys leave, you discover a song, your body becomes forever scarred. And with each of these moments you change and change again, your true self spinning, shifting positions-- but always at last it returns to you, like a dancer on the floor. Because throughout it all, you are still, always, you: beautiful and bruised, known and unknowable. And isn't that - just you - enough.”
― Leila Sales, This Song Will Save Your Life

“No more winter at all. Finch, you brought me spring.”
― Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places

“You're like a grey sky. You're beautiful, even though you don't want to be.”
― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
