“He was marrying my girl, and I couldn’t do anything about it. I just had to watch it happen, because he was my brother, because I promised..”

“Do you think there's a difference? Between belonging with and belonging to?”

“I love Jere more than anybody. He’s my brother, my family. I hate myself for doing this. But when I see you two together, I hate him too.” His voice broke.
“Don’t marry him. Don’t be with him. Be with me.”

“You never know the last time you’ll see a place. A person.”

“But just because you bury something, that doesn’t mean it stops existing.”

“I wonder what it's like to have that much power over a boy. I don't think I'd want it; it's a lot of responsibility to hold a person's heart in your hands.”

“I know now that I don’t want to love or be loved in half measures. I want it all, and to have it all, you have to risk it all.”

“When you lose someone and it still hurts, that's when you know the love was real.”

“I delete the picture of him from my phone; I delete his number. I think that if I just delete him enough, it will be like none of it ever happened and my heart won't hurt so badly”

“If love is like a possession, maybe my letter are like my exorcisms”

“She and I were still friends, but not best friends, not like we used to be. But we were still friends. She'd known me my whole life. It's hard to throw away history. It was like you were throwing away a part of yourself.”

“Sometimes it’s like people are a million times more beautiful to you in your mind. It’s like you see them through a special lens — but maybe if it’s how you see them, that’s how they really are. It’s like the whole tree falling in the forest thing.”

“A fight is like a fire. You think you have it under control, you think you can stop it whenever you want, but before you know it, it’s living, breathing thing and there’s no controlling it and you were a fool to think you could.”

“I hated to leave her and I hated to
be near her,
because she made me remember what I wanted most to forget.”

“I wondered if this was the way old crushes died, with a whimper, slowly, and then, just like that—gone.”

“Smirking, he says, "Whatever spell you just tried to cast on me, it didn't work, so I think you need to go back to Hogwarts.”

“I'm always wondering about the what-ifs, about the road not taking.”

“So much of love is chance. There's something scary and wonderful about that.”

“I didn't want to make the same mistake my parents made. I didn't want my love to fade away one day like an old scar. I wanted it to burn forever.”

“How is a person supposed to prepare for what happens tomorrow when there's just no figuring out today?”

“Don’t marry him. Don’t be with him. Be with me.”

“It feels strange to have spen much time wishing for something, for someone and then one day, suddenly, to just stop”

“For me, it was almost like winter didn’t count. Summer was what mattered. My whole life was measured in summers.”

“I hated him more than anything. I loved him more than anything. Because, he was everything. And I hated that, too.”

“So I take Peter’s hand; I put it on my heart. I tell him, “You have to take good care of this, because it’s yours.”

“Things feel like they'll be forever, but they aren't. Love can go away, or people can, without even meaning to. Nothing is guaranteed.”

“If you were mine, I would never have broken up with you, not in a million years.”

“Never say no when you really want to say yes.”

“Plenty of people are good-looking. That doesn't make them interesting or intriguing or cool.”
