Never Ever Getting Back Together

Sophie Gonzales

Top 10 Best Quotes

“My body chose her to be my home. It recognizes her as mine … She feels like my safe place. She feels like finding a missing part of my soul that was floating around in space until it finally burst into my orbit, and I latched on to it. I latched on to her.”

“I’m out to everyone I want to be out to, but that doesn’t mean that, magically, everyone I meet ever again can just tell. Coming out didn’t plaster BISEXUAL across my forehead like we’re in a game of Celebrity. And I’m yet to pick up the habit of introducing myself to people as “Maya the bisexual,” even though it’d probably simplify things. So, it’s more of a “wait for it to come up in conversation” sort of deal most of the time.”

“Until nothing exists but Maya.”

“The only risks I take are the ones I can't lose.”

“Stop looking at me. Why are you always looking at me?” “Because you’re always there,” she snaps, climbing the bunk bed. “To my unending disappointment.” “Year, well, it’s my…unending disappointment…to be stuck with you, too,” I shoot back. Nailed it. Devastating blow. She’ll regret verbally sparring with me tomorrow.”

“People like you better when they can't see your walls.”

“People don't grow and become better. If they hurt you once, they will continue to hurt you.”

“Let me be clear, Gwendolyn. I would rather be swallowed up into the bowels of hell and enter an arrangement with the fallen angel Lucifer than date Jordy Miller again.”

“I...didn't realize it would hurt you this much." "Okay. Well. I'm hurt.”

“I thought it was easy to choose not to fall for someone. But it’s not. It’s not something you can control. You don’t jump. You get pushed.” “You make it sound so violent,” I say. “They don’t call it gently cascading for someone. You don’t gracefully descend for someone. You fall. Head over heels, right? And either someone catches you, or they don’t, and you don’t have any control over how badly bruised you are at the bottom of it.”
