“Until then, never lose hope. Never stop loving me. Never forget. Never Never,”
― Colleen Hoover, Never Never: Part Two

“We were an us, Charlie. And holy shit, I can see why.”
― Colleen Hoover, Never Never

“We can’t take back who we’ve been in the past, Charlie. But we can control who we are in the present.”
― Colleen Hoover, Never Never: Part Three

“Anoshe was a word for strangers in the street, and lovers between meetings, for parents and children, friends and family. It softened the blow of leaving. Eased the strain of parting. A careful nod to the certainty of today, the mystery of tomorrow. When a friend left, with little chance of seeing home, they said anoshe. When a loved one was dying, they said anoshe. When corpses were burned, bodies given back to the earth and souls to the stream, those left grieving said anoshe.

Anoshe brought solace. And hope. And the strength to let go.”
― V.E. Schwab, A Conjuring of Light
