“I know the thought of confronting your past terrifies you. It terrifies every man. But sometimes we don't do it for ourselves. We do it for the people we love more than ourselves.”
― Colleen Hoover, Ugly Love

“His grin is so genuinely happy, it works a creaky hinge open inside me.”
― Christina Lauren, Love and Other Words

“Not every mistake deserves a consequence. Sometimes the only thing it deserves is forgiveness.”
― Colleen Hoover, Without Merit

“the wounded child inside many males is a boy who, when he first spoke his truths, was silenced by paternal sadism, by a patriarchal world that did not want him to claim his true feelings. The wounded child inside many females is a girl who was taught from early childhood that she must become something other than herself, deny her true feelings, in order to attract and please others. When men and women punish each other for truth telling, we reinforce the notion that lies are better. To be loving we willingly hear the other’s truth, and most important, we affirm the value of truth telling. Lies may make people feel better, but they do not help them to know love.”
