Good and bad, strengths and faults, he was hers forever.

You're probably the most boring teenager in the world.

But even though she was attractive, there was something else about her that caught his eye. She was intelligent, he could sense that right away, and confident, too, as if she were able to move through life on her own terms. To him, these were the things that really mattered. Without them, beauty was nothing.

The past can be escaped only by embracing something better.

My mom used to tell me that whatever you do, marry someone who loves you more than you love him.

While wounds can be inflicted easily upon those we love, it's often much more difficult to heal them.

Before we met, I was as lost as a person could be and yet you saw something in me that somehow gave me direction again.
