“Maybe I'm not so ugly after all. Maybe no one is really ugly, and maybe no one has the right to call someone that or tell them that they are. Maybe the only real ugliness is what lives inside some people.”
― Angelo Surmelis, The Dangerous Art of Blending In

“The truth is, it's exactly what I want, but I'm so scared of wanting it and even more scared of actually having it.”
― Angelo Surmelis, The Dangerous Art of Blending In

“But I don’t believe that the future gives us signs. I think that we look back and read the past with the present in our eyes.”
― Cath Crowley, Words in Deep Blue

“But I love you, and before you say it words do matter. They're not pointless. If they were pointless then they couldn't start revolutions and they wouldn't change history and they wouldn't be the things that you think about every night before you go to sleep. If they were just words we wouldn't listen to songs, we wouldn't beg to be read to when we're kids. If they were just words, then they'd have no meaning and stories wouldn't have been around since before humans could write. We wouldn't have learned to write. If they were just words then people wouldn't fall in love because of them, feel bad because of them, ache because of them, stop aching because of them, have sex, quite a lot of the time, because of them.”
