“Ugly love becomes you. Consumes you. Makes you hate it all. Makes you realize that all the beautiful parts aren't even worth it. Without the beautiful, you'll never risk feeling the ugly. So you give it all up. You give it all up. You never want love again, no matter what kind it is, because no type of love will ever be worth living through the ugly love again.”
― Colleen Hoover, Ugly Love

― Celeste Ng, Little Fires Everywhere

“Sometimes love and chaos are the same thing.”
― Katharine McGee, The Thousandth Floor

“I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse.
I am not a muse.
