“...we often mistake love for fireworks - for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet, very still. It's boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. Love is deep and calm - and constant.”

“Attraction isn’t something that only happens once, with one person. It’s part of what drives humans. Our attraction to each other, to art, to food, to entertainment. Attraction is fun. So when you decide to commit to someone, you aren’t saying, ‘I promise I’ll never be attracted to anyone else.’ You’re saying, ‘I promise to commit to you, despite my potential future attraction to other people.’” I look at Clara. “Relationships are hard for that very reason. Your body and your heart don’t stop finding the beauty and the attraction in other people simply because you’ve made a commitment to one person. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you’re drawn to someone else, it’s up to you to remove yourself from that situation before it becomes too hard to fight.”
― Colleen Hoover, Regretting You

“¿Qué tal si seguimos adelante —dijo él— y sólo nos topamos con más dolor y desesperanza? ¿Qué tal si seguimos adelante sólo para darnos cuenta de que nos aguarda un final terrible? Aelin miró al norte, como si pudiera ver hasta Terrasen. —Entonces no es el final.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Reina de las sombras

“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive, and will come forth later, in uglier ways. —SIGMUND FREUD”
