“People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other’s personalities. Who wouldn’t? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that’s not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner’s faults honestly and say, ‘I can work around that. I can make something out of it.’? Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it’s always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.”

“Usually the opposite of what we fear is our greatest fear.”
― Charles F. Glassman

“Do you ever wonder why things have to turn out the way they do?”
― Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to Remember

“I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
