Shannon L. Alder
“When you choose to forgive the same people over and over again you do so because you don't want to believe your time loving them was wasted. Bad relationships over time can become investments, that are hard to let go of. The key to freedom is to realize that love is never wasted. The only thing wasted in life is the time you spend focusing on an unhappy situation that will never change to fit your needs, and not realizing the true investment of time and love are the lessons God wanted you to learn.”
Shannon L. Alder

Abby Norman

“Sometimes you don't get closure, you just move on.”

Sanhita Baruah
“She awaits the rain like a writer embraces metaphors,
A drizzle isn't for the child who dances in the storm.
Of rain that washes away the petrichor it brings,
A downpour of a hail of bullets, and she calls it spring.”
Sanhita Baruah, The Farewell and other poems

“when a man", continued Raoul,"adopts such romantic methods to entice a young girl's affections. .."

"The man must be either a villain, or the girl a fool: is that it?”
Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera

Sanhita Baruah
“What if you are just destined to get hurt, to be helplessly stuck in a point of time you no longer want to be?

Maybe life is all about trying to get up while you fall a little bit deeper in the pits of hell, each time you try not to...”
Sanhita Baruah

Graham Greene
“I remember I dreamed a lot of Sarah in those obscure days or weeks. Sometimes I would wake with a sense of pain, sometimes with pleasure. If a woman is in one's thoughts all day, one should not have to dream of her at night.”
Graham Greene, The End of the Affair

Michelle Tea
“She broke my heart, so now I have to write about her forever. It made everything different. It's something that can only happen once.”
Michelle Tea, Valencia

Mindy McGinnis
“I didn’t know a living person could hurt you so badly.
When the pain originates with someone who is gone, it’s your own memory that hurts you. Walking through the house, touching things they’ve touched, hearing sounds they heard, wondering what they would’ve thought of one thing or another. This is pain that I know, pain that I can handle, pain that is so much a part of me that if it were removed I would not be whole.
But when it’s someone who’s alive who hurts you, the pain can’t be escaped. The things they’ve touched are still warm because they were just there, the sounds they hear reach your ears too—sometimes their own voice, and it’s excruciating to bear. I know what he thinks about this, that, or the other because I can hear him saying so. But not to me. He doesn’t talk to me anymore.”
Mindy McGinnis, The Female of the Species

Judy Blume
“I made promises to you that I'm not sure I can keep.”
Judy Blume, Forever...

Shannon L. Alder
“If you have to be told how you should feel then those feelings are not strong enough to make you feel alive; they become rules that don’t fit your life script. Not every person will place the same importance as you do on one of the six human needs: certainty, variety, significance, connection/love, growth or contributions. When you know what is most important for yourself and learn to recognize what need is the most important to others, then you can begin to unlock the real reason behind conflict.”
Shannon L. Alder

“Forgiveness is not an event. It is a series of decisions made over and over again.”
Karen Salmansohn

Mordecai Richler
“Following the death of his wife, Sam Johnson wrote to the Reverend Mr. Thomas Warton, "I have ever since seemed to myself broken off from mankind; a kind of solitary wanderer in the wilds of life, without any certain direction, or fixed point of view: a gloomy gazer on a world to which I have little relation."
But my wife wasn't dead, merely absent.”
Mordecai Richler, Barney's Version

Mary E. Pearson
“Words, Kaden. Only lost unsaid words that added up to good-bye.”
Mary E. Pearson, The Beauty of Darkness

“I am getting tired of feeling disappointed. I am getting tired of other people trying to always take my kindness for weakness, I sure don't deserve it. I should assume responsibility and become cold to others and warm to myself. Some call it self loving, other selfishness... I call it respect. Why to give less that what is being given? Maybe I am way too much for you, maybe that is your biggest fear, to feel less.”
Andres Oliver

M.B. Dallocchio
“With even the slightest upset, detachment soon followed. I didn’t lose sleep over men, and I was too restless to be tied down. The grass didn’t even have time to grow around my feet before I was planning my next escape – whether it was to another state or out of someone’s life.”
M.B. Dallocchio

“Please do not become so hurt by life that when someone loving comes along, or something good happens, you resist allowing the love and joy in.”
Karen Salmansohn

Sanhita Baruah
“I've heard you say so many a time
That I know just the right words to say, just the right lines to rhyme...

Today it's been 7 years since we last met
I have learnt to say just the wrong words, just the lines you hate....”
Sanhita Baruah, The Farewell and other poems

“Don't let your loyalty become your slavery.”
Karen Salmansohn

Stephen Chbosky
“You know I blamed Craig for not letting me do things? You know how stupid I feel about that now? Maybe he didn't really encourage me to do things, but he didn't prevent me from doing them either. But after a while, I didn't do things because I didn't want him to think different about me. But the things is, I wasn't being honest. So, why would I care whether or not he loved me when he didn't really even know me?”
Stephen Chbosky

Rachel Higginson
“A woman might save him from a heart attack, but she'll kill him in every other way.”
Rachel Higginson, Every Wrong Reason

“Go! Yes, You! Go! I will not force you to like me; I will not force you to love me. Unconditional love has a condition inside it but there is no you in me. If I know my real me, then I know your real you. I know your value in me and I also know my value in you. If your value is not in me and my value is not in you, then I will not force you to like me; I will not force you to love me, so go!”
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

“Love is like slamming into a wall of concrete and asking to do it all again once the rubble is cleared.”
Alexandra Toscano

Rachel Higginson
“I think we've grown so far apart, we don't even know each other anymore.”
Rachel Higginson, Every Wrong Reason

Innocent Mwatsikesimbe
“Now,
Because I put you in the past,
My life is like:

A path paved,
Fit for your feet.
Now other women walk on it;
And not one of them fits.

Walking crooked, on a path that's straight.
I watch them.
They don't even have your gait.”
Innocent Mwatsikesimbe, Live & Remember

Graham Greene
“I know he is afraid of that desert which would be around him if our love were to end, but he can't realize that I feel exactly the same. What he says aloud I say to myself silently and write it here. What can one build in the desert? Sometimes after a day when we have made love many times, I wonder whether it isn't possible to come to an end of sex, and I know that he is wondering too and is afraid of that point where the desert begins. What do we do in the desert if we lose each other? How does one go on living after that?”
Graham Greene, The End of the Affair

“Thanks liver... you are a champ!”
Siddhant R. Shinde
