Willow Anne | 1604 comments Ooh, theres so many to choose from! My most recent favorite is from The Last Thing He Told Me, which i absolutely LOVED and completely recommend!

In one way or another, this is the deal we all sign when we love someone. For better or worse. It's the deal we have to sign again and again to keep that love. We don't turn away from the parts of someone we don't want to see. However quickly or long it takes to see them. We accept them if we are strong enough. Or we accept them enough not to let the bad parts become the entire story. Because there is this too. The details are not the whole story. The whole story includes this: I love Owen.

Dreamer   | 5128 comments And now, let's try to convience you to read my #1 favorite book, The Secret History!

“Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not.”


Cass (all too tired) | 546 comments There are so many good ones in Radio Silence, but here's one of them.

“It must be useful to be smart," she said and then laughed weakly. She glanced down and suddenly looked very sad. "I'm like, constantly scared I'm going to be a homeless or something. I wish our whole lives didn't have to depend on our grades.”


Cass (all too tired) | 546 comments Summer Bird Blue

“Some people are meant to be forever, like Lea and me. And other people come into your life for a reason— you help each other figure shit out and come to terms with complicated feelings that you can't process on your own.”

Isabel (whispersx) The Name of the Wind Rothfuss' writing is so beautiful... (it was really difficult to choose only one quote!)

“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”

Dreamer   | 5128 comments Foucault's Pendulum

“I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.


message 14: by Dreamer (new)

Dreamer   | 5128 comments Also, from my new favorite On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous!

"They say nothing lasts forever but they're just scared it will last longer than they can love it."
