― Emma Cline, The Girls

“...falling in love could be achieved in a single word—a glance.”
― Ian McEwan, Atonement

“You don't let go once. That's your first mistake. You say goodbye over a lifetime. You might not have thought about her for ten years, then you'll hear a song or you'll walk past somewhere you once went together - something will come to the surface that you'd totally forgotten about. And you say another goodbye. You have to be prepared to let go and let go and let go a thousand times.”
― Dolly Alderton, Good Material

“Beware how you give your heart.”
― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
