You are right about what you said—we are thirty in our hearts, before all the disappointment, all the ways it turned out to be so much more painful than we thought it would be, but then again, it has also been magic. ~ Virginia Evans, The Correspondent: A Novel

Sometimes there was no third book. No resolution no matter how many times you reread or how hard you wished for it. ~ Ilona Andrews, This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me

If one concentrated on one thing and then another — the good things in each moment — the fear wrapped deep in the gut seemed to unswell, like an iced bruise. Still there, but quieter. ~ Peter Heller, The River

“You and me are special,” he started. “There’s no one else I’d rather spend time with than you. There’s no one else I’d rather talk to than you. And there’s no one else I’d rather kiss than you.” ~ Carley Fortune, Every Summer After

This momentary pause in which everything changes. ~ Clare Leslie Hall, Broken Country
