in shambles

a lot and a little

[thismidnighte-reader]

Being with people is nice. But I don’t think it’s social to get a bunch of people together and then not let them talk, do you?

Farenheit 451, Ray Bradbury

If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war.

Farenheit 451, Ray Bradbury

It is so hard to leave - until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.

Paper Towns, John Green

[thismidnighte-reader]

Time. I was asking for a lot of it these days. I hoped that if I had enough, everything would somehow fall into place.

The Elite (The Selection Series)

"For the two of us, home isn’t a place. It’s a person."

Anna and the French Kiss

[thismidnighte-reader]

Girlfriend is such a stupid word. I couldn't stand calling her that. So, we had to get married, so I could call her 'wife.'

- If I Stay, Gayle Forman

We both have war inside us. Sometimes it keeps us alive. Sometimes it threatens to destroy us.

Insurgent, Veronica Roth

I'm going to stay the same, and the same, and the same, until I die of it.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson, John Green & David Levithan

[thismidnighte-reader]

Nobody ever told me how to deal with things like this. Shouldn't letting go be painless if you've learned how to hold on?

Will Grayson, Will Grayson, John Green & David Levithan

[thismidnighte-reader]

I don't want to be thin or conventionally beautiful or straight or brilliant. No, what I really want - and what I never get is to be appreciated. Do you what it's like to work so hard to make sure everyone's happy and to have not a single person recognize it?

Will Grayson, Will Grayson, John Green & David Levithan

It was like their lives were overlapping lines, like they had their own gravity. Usually, that serendipity felt like the nicest thing the universe had ever done for her.

Eleanor and Park, Rainbow Rowell

[thismidnighte-reader]

All I do when we're apart is think about you, and all I do when we're together is panic. Because every second feels so important. And because I'm so out of control.

Eleanor and Park, Rainbow Rowell

[thismidnighte-reader]

I don't think I even breathe when we're not together. Which means, when I see you on Monday morning , it's been like sixty hours since I've taken a breath. That's probably why I'm so crabby and why I snap at you.

Eleanor and Park, Rainbow Rowell

[thismidnighte-reader]

It was the first time I ever loved someone. Love is love, no matter how old you are, and I knew that if I gave you enough time, you'd come back to me.

-Message in a Bottle, Nicholas Sparks

[thismidnighte-reader]

But none of the lies fit well. And the more I stumble through possible lies, I realize I am heading in the direction of telling her everything.

Every Day, David Levithan

[thismidnighte-reader]

I am learning that a life isn’t real unless someone else knows its reality. And I want my life to be real.

Every Day, David Levithan

[thismidnighte-reader]

When we are most alone is when we embrace another's loneliness.

The Timekeeper, Mitch Albom
