― Candace Bushnell, Sex and the City

“How many times can a heart be shattered and still be pieced back together? How many times before the damage is irreparable?”

“Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys.”
― Nicholas Sparks, Safe Haven
