“Every sad thing, every loss or hurt really a challenge to love that much more, really just another of beauty's many strongholds.”

“Not every day hurts. Not every breath hurts. Maybe that's all we can really ask for.”

“There really is only one ending to any story. Human life ends in death. Until then, it keeps going and gets complicated and there's loss. Everything involves loss; every relationship ends in one way or another.”

“This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.”

“I still go to bed sad, and wake up sad, and it still hurts like hell, but there are moments during the day when it hurts less. Sometimes I can think of June and not want to burst into tears or put my fist through a wall. Sometimes I'm close to happy and it doesn't even hurt. Much. I'll never be the way I was before, but maybe that's okay. Life goes on, I'm going on, even without her. Not every day hurts. Not every breath hurts.Maybe that's all we can really ask for.”

“I'm really in love with Sam, and it hurts very much.”
