“Love could be cruel and thankless. It could leave when you least expected it. It could haunt your heart like a creaking staircase, the sound of someone coming home but never actually arriving.”
― Rachel Moore, Us in Ruins

“Life can be a little shit sometimes. But shit also makes great fertilizer. Grow from your experiences, don't let them smother the light out of you.”
― Sarah Adams, Beg, Borrow, or Steal

“Emily…you take on too much—and you hold yourself to this impossible standard of living that no one can survive on. And to be quite honest, it’s nice to see that you struggle just like the rest of us. That you need me occasionally just like I need you. So stop letting your pride and your perfectionism get in the way,”
― Sarah Adams, Beg, Borrow, or Steal

“Life isn’t perfect. It’s not always sunshine and rainbows. It’s about finding people who will weather the storm with you. Who will find ways to dance in the rain.”
― Catherine Cowles, Broken Harbor
