“Maybe wanting things is what makes me a lot. If I could just want less, I'd be the right amount of person. The amount I'm supposed to be. The not-a-lot amount. The easy-to-love amount”
― Jennette McCurdy, Half His Age

“You have no idea. You don’t know what you have. You have your youth and you’re beautiful, but you’re hungry, and that hunger blinds you to what you already have. All those raging hormones, making every decision for you. You’re always hurting, but you’ve never been hurt. Not really. Later on, though, you’ll realize youth is truly wasted on the young.
Right now, you’re pretending you’re what, twenty-one? Later on, you’ll
want to be twenty-one again. Really, no matter what age you are—ten
or a hundred—you’ll want to be twenty-one.
And, just as when you were a little kid, you’ll demand your dignity
before you earn it.”
― Craig DiLouie, Suffer the Children

“Maybe this isn’t the kind of love that deserves to exist. Maybe it’s the kind that wars start over. The kind that topples empires and never leaves the world better than it found it.”
― Abby Jimenez, The Night We Met

“I'd finally accepted that mystery is at the heart of love. That it's our deep yearning to know the ones we love in ways that are ultimately impossible... We will never have long enough - and that keeps us bound to them, forever chasing.”
― Ashley Winstead, This Book Will Bury Me
