“The sum of the day was truly greater than its parts.”

“I believe it's after the honeymoon ends that true love begins. It's in the hard times that the greater virtues of love reveal themselves, like tolerance and patience and kindness.”

“Dwelling on him would make him a bigger part of my life than I want him to be.”

“Could it be that to truly love a thing is not to desire it, but to desire happiness for it?”

“Forgiveness does not require us to close our eyes but rather to truly open them.”

“Like all living things, love, too, struggles against hardship, and in the process sheds its fatuous skin to expose one composed of more than just a storm of emotion-one of loyalty and divine friendship. And though it may be temporarily blinded by adversity, it never gives in or up, holding tight to lofty ideals that transcend this earth and time- while its counterfeit simply concludes it was mistaken and quickly runs off to find the next real thing.”

“Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”
