Top 10 Best Quotes

“In the end you can't always choose what to keep. You can only choose how you let it go.”

“Everyone has something of beauty about them. But loving lets you look, and look, and look again. You notice the back of a hand, the turn of a head, the way of a walk. When you first love, you look blind and you see it all as the glorious, beloved whole, or a beautiful sum of beautiful parts. But when you see the one you love as pieces, as why's, you can love those parts too, and it's a love at once more complicated and more complete.”

“Love changes what is probable and makes unlikely things possible.”

“I love. The most reckless thing of all.”

“Forgetting lets you live without the pain for a moment but remembering hits hard.”

“I climb into the dark for you Are you waiting in the stars for me?”

“Love has different shades. Like the way I loved Cassia when I thought she'd never love me. The way I loved her on the Hill. The way I love her now that she came into the canyon for me. It's different. Deeper. I thought I loved her and wanted her before, but as we walk through the canyon together I realize this could be more than a new shade. A whole new color.”

“It's not knowing how to write that makes you interesting, it's what you write.”

“This is a cruel thing to do because when someone knows your story they know you. And they can hurt you. It's why I give mine away in pieces, even to Cassia.”

“Everyone has something of beauty about them.”
