I don't want to be a part of a world where being kind is a weakness.

Time does not heal all wounds, but it teaches us how to live with them.

Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.

Not all of us can afford to be romantic.
