“I sometimes think the stronger you feel about someone, the harder it is to picture their face when you are away from them.”

“Life's harder, the deeper you feel things, was all I could think as I put the books away. Feelings, who needs them? Sometimes they're like a gift, when you feel love or happiness. Sometimes they're a curse.”

“Once someone's hurt you, it's harder to relax around them, harder to think of them as safe to love. But it doesn't stop you from wanting them.”

“I consider kissing her right there on the dirty couch, but self-preservation stops me. Once someone hurts you, it’s harder to relax around them, harder to think of them as safe to love. But it doesn’t stop you wanting them. Sometimes I actually think it makes the wanting worse”

“You should show encouragement whenever you can. People try harder when they know that someone cares about them.”

“When your about to criticize someone walk a mile in thier shoes, that way when you criticize them you're a mile away from them and you have their shoes”
