“Divide and conquer. That's my new family motto”

“I'm pretty sure my addiction to reading has just reached a whole new level.”

“And once again in my new world full of heartache and lies, this hopeless boy somehow finds a way to make me smile.”

“The line isn't so black and white anymore. I'm pretty sure gray just became my new favorite color.”

“I hold still against her, taking one final look at this amazing, beautiful girl beneath me. "You're the greatest thing that's ever happened to my life," I whisper.”

“Don't say it's over ‘Cause that's the worst news I could hear I swear that I will Do my best to be here just the way you like it Even though it’s hard to hide Push my feelings all aside I will rearrange my plans and change for you. (-The Avett Brothers)”
