“I like grit, I like love and death, I'm tired of irony. ... A lot of good fiction is sentimental. ... The novelist who refuses sentiment refuses the full spectrum of human behavior, and then he just dries up. ... I would rather give full vent to all human loves and disappointments, and take a chance on being corny, than die a smartass.”
― Jim Harrison

“I wonder if it's possible for people to fall in love with a person one characteristic at a time, or if you fall for the entire person at once.”
― Colleen Hoover, Losing Hope
