“A break up is the closest thing to bereavement”

“I wasn't in love with Simon any more. I hadn't been in love with Simon for a long time. I was in love with not being on my own, with having someone there at the end of the day and now I knew I didn't need that. My heart was not broken over him: it was breaking for the things I had wanted from him. And I didn't want them any more.”

“New York is made up of millions of different people, and they all come here looking for something”

“...These things come to an end, like anything else. There's nothing worse than staying when there's nothing to stay for.”

“If you didn't feel like your support system was strong enough, then getting yourself out of the situation was the best thing to do”

“Either I've found my spiritual home, or I've watched too much TV”

“And this was why falling for the butterflies was never a good idea. I didn’t feel all bubbly and excited now. I felt cold and broken and empty.- Rachel”
