“Sighs and silences and avoided conversations are just as important as the things you do talk about.”
“The important thing is not what we look like, but the role we play in ourbest friend’s life. Friends choose certain friends because that’s the kind of company they are looking for at that specific time, not because they’re thecorrect height, age, or have the right hair color”
“She would make facial expressions as though she were having conversations with people in her head.They seemed to turn into debates more often than not,judging by the activity on her forehead...It was almost the conversations in her head were loud enough to fill her silence.”
“Her silence was worth more to her than a thousand words.In that silence,she had peace and clarity.Except during the night,when her own jumbled thoughts would keep her awake.”
“You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you’re doing, where you are, who you’re with, and if you’re OK. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who could make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy.”
“Rosie: What the hell was that silence?Steph: It sounds like something I’d like. It sounded nice.Rosie: It was.”
