“It's so good to be loved by someone who knows how to live with the flaws. Who knows not to expect the world from you and how to be grateful for what you can give. And who knows that, like the people who give it, love is not perfect.”
“Son, if there's on thing I know," and Colin thought about how old people always like to tell you the one thing they know, "it's that there's some people in this world who you can just love and love and love no matter what.”
“-Who are you, anyway?-Just someone who knows, from personal experience, how attractive it can be to think you can save somebody else by loving them.”
“No one teaches you how to walk away from someone who you know loves you. NO one teaches you how to say good-bye.”
“I don’t know a perfect person. I only know flawed people who are still worth loving.”
“But I did not yet know, at that time, how tender the earth can be for those who have only her and how many graves in her giving, for the living."First Love”
