“You, Kelly.
Always you.
You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
You’re my first memory. Mom was holding you, and I wanted to take you for myself, hide you away so no one would hurt you.
You’re my first love. I knew that when you would always smile when you saw me, and it was like staring into the sun.
You’re my heart.
You are my soul.”
― T.J. Klune, Heartsong

“Sometimes you’ll feel the loneliness of exile. And sometimes you’ll feel the happiness of belonging.”
― Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World

“You're every street I've ever walked. You're the tree outside my window, you're a sparrow as he flies. You're the book that I am reading. You're every poem I've ever loved.”
― Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World

“Stories were living inside us. I think we were born to tell our stories. After we died, our stories would survive. Maybe it was our stories that fed the universe the energy it needed to keep on giving life.

Maybe all we were meant to do on this earth was to keep on telling stories. Our stories—and the stories of the people we loved.”
― Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World
