“So you're always honest," I said.
"Aren't you?"
"No," I told him. "I'm not."
"Well, that's good to know, I guess."
"I'm not saying I'm a liar," I told him. He raised his eyebrows. "That's not how I meant it, anyways."
"How'd you mean it, then?"
"I just...I don't always say what I feel."
"Why not?"
"Because the truth sometimes hurts," I said.
"Yeah," he said. "So do lies, though.”

“Once again, I don’t quite know where I’m headed Steph. It seems that
every few years I’m shoveling up the pieces of my life and starting from
scratch all over. No matter what I do or how hard I try I can’t seem to reach
the dizzy heights of happiness, success, and security, like so many people do.
And I’m not talking about becoming a millionaire and living happily ever
after. I just mean reaching a point in my life that I can stop what I’m doing,
take a look around me, breathe a sigh of relief, and think “I’m where I want
to be now.”
― Cecelia Ahern, Love, Rosie

“If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

“I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once. ”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
