“Love is a clash of lightnings”

“No one needed to say it, but the room overflowed with that sort of blessing. The combination of loss and abundance. The abundance that has no guilt. The loss that has no fix. The simple tiredness that is not weary. The hope not built on blindness.”

“I often stood in front of the mirror alone, wondering how ugly a person could get.”

“I believe in love at first sight…But it’s not the first moment you lay eyes on a person, it’s the moment you first seethe person they truly are.”

“The world is merciless, and it’s also very beautiful.”
