“Falling for someone can be a lot like playing roulette. You don't know what will happen when you place that bet, but you can take a deep breath anyway and put all the chips out there. And when the ball spins around and around, you pray it lands on your number. Probability says you'll likely lose, and in this game of love with Leo, odds were I would lose, too, but I had to try.”
― Ilsa Madden-Mills, Very Bad Things

“You never stop loving someone; you just learn to live without them.” –Nora Blakely”

“It was so different to be two free black young people, free to think, free to love, free to decide things for ourselves, free to become what we wanted, free to be the people we wanted to make ourselves, not what somebody else wanted us to be.”
― Michael Phillips, A Perilous Proposal

“When something hurts this bad, Nora, you need to let it go. Let him go.”
