 “The hearts I make are shattered, but whole. They’re kaleidoscopes that beam under the sun. They signify hope in love when you’ve lost it because, like love, you can look at a kaleidoscope a thousand different ways and find something new every time. Shattered or not, if you look carefully enough, you’ll find something beautiful in them, and all beautiful things are a little broken.”

― Claire Contreras, Kaleidoscope Hearts

"Przychodzi taki czas, kiedy musicie przestać szukać siły u innych i znaleźć ją w sobie. Nigdy się nie poddawajcie. Ona tam jest, w każdym z was, jeśli tylko wiecie, gdzie szukać." - Jamie Canosa

"Każdy potrzebuje czasami pomocy. Nie ma się czego wstydzić. Ale trzeba cholernie dużo odwagi, by mieć siłę, aby poprosić o nią".  - Jamie Canosa

"Nie mówię że będzie łatwo. Ponieważ nie będzie. Nie takie ma być. Życie jest trudne. Niewazne kim się jest. Nieważne skad się pochodzi, ile ma się pieniędzy... to gowno jest trudne, Jane. Jest trudne." - Jamie Canosa

"Podczas gdy Kiernan poprzestawiał moje złamane kawałki, próbując utrzymać mnie w całości, Cal pozwolił im wszystkim upaść. Pozwolil się rozbić i zamienić w pyl. Następnie, z tego pyłu, odbudował mnie. Kawałek po kawałku, posiadał mnie na nowo. Zaczynając od mojego serca ". - Jamie Canosa

There’s a difference between taking care of someone because you love them and taking care of someone because you want them to love you,  - Lucy Score, Things We Never Got Over

You want someone you can trust with your nightmares. Not just your dreams. - Lucy Score, By a Thread 

You can’t put your worth in someone else’s hands like that. Whether those hands are stroking you or hurting you. It doesn’t matter. Your value comes from inside. Whether you mean something to him or not has nothing to do with how inherently valuable you are. - Lucy Score, Pretend You're Mine (Benevolence, #1) 

Look, the point of a relationship isn’t hiding your stupid wounds and flaws. It’s about showing them to someone and letting them still love you. You were able to hurt her because she let you in. - Lucy Score, By a Thread 

Life is an adventure to be lived, not a series of repetitive days to survive. - Lucy Score, Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door (Riley Thorn, #1) 

You’re the one who has to live your life. Don’t apologize to other people for the decisions you make for yourself. - Lucy Score, Things We Never Got Over 

The point isn’t to get through life unscathed. It’s to throw yourself into it and experience every drop of it. Get scarred, get scared, soar high, love whenever possible. - Lucy Score, 

People fall in and out of love all the time, and sometimes people have numerous loves throughout their lives. But you have two epic loves and no matter who you were with, I don’t think you’d ever get over or forget the other. - Molly McAdams, Taking Chances (Taking Chances, #1)

All humans make mistakes. What determines a person's character aren't the mistakes we make. It's how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses. = Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us 

F#%k all the firsts, Sky. The only thing that matters to me with you are the forevers. - Colleen Hoover, Hopeless (Hopeless, #1) 

We try so hard to hide everything we're really feeling from those who probably need to know our true feelings the most. - Colleen Hoover, Maybe Someday 

It's real, Six. You can't get mad at a real ending. Some of them are ugly. It's the fake happily ever afters that should piss you off. - Colleen Hoover, Hopeless (Hopeless, #1)

Not everyone gets a happily every after. Life is real and sometimes it's ugly and you just have to learn how to cope. - Colleen Hoover, Hopeless (Hopeless, #1) 

You don't deserve words, Sky. You deserve actions. - Colleen Hoover, Hopeless (Hopeless, #1) 

Imagine all the people you meet in your life. There are so many. They come in like waves, trickling in and out with the tide. Some waves are much bigger and make more of an impact than others. Sometimes the waves bring with them things from deep in the bottom of the sea and they leave those things tossed onto the shore. Imprints against the grains of sand that prove the waves had once been there, long after the tide recedes. That was what Atlas was telling me when he said “I love you.” He was letting me know that I was the biggest wave he’d ever come across. And I brought so much with me that my impressions would always be there, even when the tide rolled out. - Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

Until he comes back for me, I’m just going to keep pretending to be okay. I’ll keep pretending to swim, when really all I’m doing is floating. Barely keeping my head above water. - Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us 

We’re just alike,... Plants and humans. Plants need to be loved the right way in order to survive. So do humans. We rely on our parents from birth to love us enough to keep us alive. And if our parents show us the right kind of love, we turn out as better humans overall. But if we’re neglected . . we’re neglected, we end up homeless and incapable of anything meaningful - colleen hoover, It Ends with Us 

Dear Ellen,

"Just keep swimming."

Recognize that quote, Ellen? It's what Dory says to Marlin in Finding Nemo.

"Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming."

I'm not a huge fan of cartoons, but I'll give you props for that one. I like cartoons that can make you laughter, but also make you feel something. After today, think that's my favorite cartoon. Because I've been feeling like drowning lately, and sometimes people need a reminder that they just need to keep swimming. - Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

Running is still running. It doesn't matter if it's a physical move from one place to another or if it's to within yourself. - Katie McGarry, Nowhere But Here (Thunder Road, #1) 

I’m sorry I’m slow.”

He brushes my hair over my shoulder. “You’re not slow.”

I raise an eyebrow.

“I’m serious.” When he sees I’m unconvinced, he rubs at his stubble and starts again. “I don’t want you to give any more than you want. What makes this special is that you’re into it. The moment you aren’t, that’s where I become a bastard for asking for more. I’m telling you, I’ve got no problem taking it slow. - Katie McGarry, Crash into You 

Everyone has to excel at something, right?" "Well, you're doing a great job.” “I've always found that the most beautiful people, truly beautiful inside and out, are the ones who are quietly unaware of their effect." His eyes searched mine intently, and for a moment we stood there toe to toe.

You'll become the center of someone's world one day. And he'll be the luckiest son of a bitch on this earth. - Jennifer L. Armentrout, Pure (Covenant, #2) 

Nothing is ever simple. And when it is, it's rarely every worth it. - Jennifer L. Armentrout, From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash, #1) 

Forever was something we all took for granted, but the problem with forever was that it really didn't exist. - Jennifer L. Armentrout, The Problem with Forever 

Blaine, the scariest part about love isn’t love itself. It’s letting go and plunging into the unknown. It’s trusting someone with the very most sacred part of your heart. It’s allowing yourself to feel something foreign and uncharted, despite how much it terrifies the hell out of you - S.L. Jennings, Fear of Falling (Fearless, #1) 

Life happens. That was much more appropriate. Unfortunately, many of us found that out earlier than some. We found out just how awful life could really be. We found out that monsters were, indeed, real. They walked among us. They looked just like you and me. They came in the form of the people that we loved and trusted the most. The people whose only job was to love and protect us. Funny thing about life is that it never turns out the way you want it to. It’s never fair. It’s harsh and brutal. It kicks you when you’re down. It makes you wish you could give up and part with it just to have a semblance of peace. - S.L. Jennings, Fear of Falling 

Sometimes, loving people can be as much of a gift as it is a curse. Because some people... you can't help but love. Even if you know it will hurt you in the end. - S.L. Jennings, Fear of Falling

"it was easier to live without something you’ve never had, because you didn’t know what you were missing, but once you’ve had something it was difficult giving it up. - Cora Reilly, Bound by Vengeance (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles #5)

I’d never known love meant being scared all the time, scared of losing someone you couldn’t live without. - Cora Reilly, Luca Vitiello (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles, #0.5)

The world is a huge place. How will you know where you fit in unless you explore beyond your comfort zone? - Katie McGarry, Nowhere But Here (Thunder Road, #1)

Because I realize now, that's the way it works. That if you're lucky, you might get to fall in love so hard and so deep, that it changes you. That love seeps its way into every atom and molecule in your whole being, so that even if it's over, or the two of you are forced apart, you'll always carry the imprint of their soul with you, steady as a heartbeat. Forever.... = Melody Grace, Unbroken 

My mom always said, there are two kinds of love in this world: the steady breeze, and the hurricane - Melody Grace, Unbroken 

Making a mistake isn’t the issue. It’s how you handle it that defines you. - R.J. Lewis, 

Why does someone like this or that? I believe it's wired in us. Just like I'm wired to you and you're wired to me. It doesn't make sense and we don't understand it, but we're propelled to each other. Be it a chemical reaction binding us, or a higher power that deems it so, we're soul-mates. That's why I love you. I can't turn it off because I have no control over it, and i'd never want to anyway. - R.J. Lewis, Burn 

And that was the cruel thing about love. You couldn’t turn it off. You couldn’t pretend it didn’t exist because it was outside logic’s control. It had its own selfish agenda, and it lived to cloud your judgment and to trick you into believing there was more than what you were told. = R.J. Lewis, Kiss a Stranger 

Pain never faded; you just found ways to distract yourself so you couldn’t feel it as much. - R.J. Lewis, Leah (Carter, #2) 

Love isn’t simple. It’s a mind-fuck, filled with irrational reason, driven purely by some possessive animalistic need that sits in the core of all of us. This need to be loved and wanted and…accepted. This desperate need to be entwined with another soul, until you can’t tell yourself apart from them. - R.J. Lewis, Borden 2 

“Life isn’t about deserving.” I closed my eyes and sighed. “Aren’t you the one always spouting all that wisdom?” He grinned. “If we wait until we’re deserving, we’re going to be waiting for a really long time.” I shrugged. “I’d rather appreciate the fact that I’ll never deserve anything — doesn’t make me a bad person, just makes me all the more thankful.”

― Rachel Van Dyken, Ruin

"Humans are like that sometimes, they seek something to put back together when they’re broken and can’t fix themselves. I guess it’s just a comfort; it makes us feel better, like we haven’t completely lost ourselves – we like to believe there’s still a part in there, that can be saved." - Bella Jewel
