“Alone is an island. It’s an uncrossable sea, being too far from another soul, whereas lonely is being too close, in the same house yet separated by walls because we choose to be, and when I fall asleep, the pain of loneliness follows me as I dream of more walls.”
― Joan He, The Ones We're Meant to Find

“Twenty-six letters and some punctuation marks and you have infinite words in infinite worlds. How is that not a miracle?”
― Gayle Forman, We Are Inevitable

“Fire and water looked so lovely together. It was a pity they destroyed each other by nature.”

“Love grew out of shared memories, shared stories, shared laughter. Love was a result of knowing the many things a person did that annoyed you to the ends of the earth, and yet, somehow, still wanting to hold them at the end of every day, and be held by then at sunrise every morning. Love was the comfort of knowing someone would stand by you, accept you, despite all your eccentricities, all your faults. Maybe loving you, in part, because of them.”
― Marissa Meyer, Cursed
