Il semblerait que l'aboutissement de projets que l'on a faits sur le long terme soit source de dépression. C'est le voyage qui compte, pas la destination. Je sais que c'est un message à la con qu'on trouve sur tous les coussins kitsch, mais c'est vrai.

Peu importe qui on est, peu importent nos différences, on essaie tous d’aller quelque part, de retrouver quelqu’un.

Demain nous nous aimerons un peu plus. Et encore davantage le jour suivant.

Is there anything better than iced coffee and a bookstore on a sunny day ? I mean, aside from hot coffee and a bookstore on a rainy day.

She wanted me to go with her, but she's happy that I'm getting what I want. I wanted her to stay, but I hope she finds everything she's looking for and more.

There are things in life so valuable that you must risk the pain of losing them for the joy of briefly having them.

You can take the city person out of the city, but the city will always be in them. I think it's the same for sisters. Anywhere we go, we won't leave each other. We couldn't even if we wanted to. And we don't. We never will.

"I'll take you home whenever you want", he says.
"But if you want to stay, and you wake up screaming, it's okay. I'll make sure you're okay. And if you want to stay, and then change your mind, I don't mind driving you back at four a.m"

When you tell yourself not to think about something, it will be all that you can think about.

They taught me that heartbreak, like most things, was a solvable puzzle.

As ever, making my sister laugh is a shot of serotonin straight into my heart.

That's the thing about women. There's no good way to be one. Wear your emotions on your sleeve and you're hysterical. Keep them tucked away where your boyfriend doesn't have to tend to them and you're a heartless bitch.

When books are your life-or in my case, your job-you get pretty good at guessing where a story is going. The tropes, the archetypes, the common plot twist all start to organise themselves into a catalogue inside your brain, divided by category and genre. The husband is the killer. The nerd gets a makeover, and without her glasses, she's smoking hot. The guy gets the girl-or the other girl does.

J'ai pris une douche froide. Enfin, j'ai pris une douche froide pendant une seconde, durant laquelle j'ai hurlé une obscénité et failli me casser la cheville en essayant d'échapper au jet d'eau. Comment diable les personnages de romans faisaient-ils pour toujours prendre des douches froides ?

Quand tout paraissait sombre et terrifiant, l’amour pouvait nous emmener danser, le rire pouvait estomper la douleur, la beauté pouvait transcender la peur. J’ai décidé que ma vie serait composée de ces trois ingrédients.

Quand on aime quelqu'un... a-t-il commencé d'une voix hésitante, on veut lui présenter le monde sous un autre jour. Donner un sens à ce qui est moche et amplifier ce qui est beau. C'est ce que tu fais. Pour tes lecteurs. Pour moi. Tu crées de belles choses parce que tu aimes le monde, et même s'il n'est pas toujours tel que tu le décris dans tes livres... je pense que ça contribue un peu à le changer. On ne peut pas se permettre de perdre ça.

Maybe I used to think there'd be a perfect time or place. But now, I think, if you really want to be with someone, you don't wait for things to be perfect.

The only way I can bear loving anyone this much is knowing it will never turn to poison. Knowing we'll give each other up before we can destroy each other.

He's a golden boy. I'm a girl whose life has been drawn in shades of gray.
I try not to love him.
I really try.

What can you feel ? Sunlight, everywhere. Not just on my bare shoulders or the crown of my head but inside me too, the irresistible warmth that comes only from being in the exact right place with the exact right people.
