“There aren’t enough sonnets for friendship. Not enough songs for the kind of love not born of blood or body but of time and care. They are the ones we choose to laugh and cry and live with. When lovers come and go, friends are the ones who remain. We are each other’s constants.”
― Kennedy Ryan, This Could Be Us

“You don't need to have it all. You only need to figure out how much is enough.”
― Danya Kukafka, Notes on an Execution

“I wonder about choices. How we resent them, and how we regret them—even as we watch them grow.”
― Danya Kukafka, Notes on an Execution

“The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love—whether we call it friendship or family or romance—is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light.”
― Kennedy Ryan, This Could Be Us
