“The fate of your heart is your choice and no one else gets a vote”

“Whenever you made a choice, especially one you'd been resisting, it always affected everything else, some in big ways, like a tremor beneath your feet, others in so tiny a shift you hardly noticed a change at all. But it was happening.”

“There comes a time in every life when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your heart.”

“Sometimes, you have to manufacture your own history. Give fate a push, so to speak.”

“That first love. And the first one who breaks your heart. For me, they just happen to be the same person.”

“It seemed like this day could go in so many directions, like a spiderweb shooting out toward endless possibilities. Whenever you made a choice, especially one you'd been resisting, it always affected everything else, some in big ways, like a tremor beneath your feet, others in so tiny a shift you hardly noticed a change at all. But it was happening.”

“This isn’t ideal. Very few things are. Sometimes, you have to manufacture your own history. Give fate a push, so to speak. You know?”
