" Those lips looked tasty, especially when they said things like ' i jumped up every time someone knocked, hoping it's be you"

"Her heart was pounding impossibly fast. Then she realized She was feeling both of their hearts, racing each other. A kind of desperate conversation, one they couldn't have with words."
— Lauren Kate (Fallen)

"People who are chronically tardy never understand the many ways in which they screw up the schedules of people who are punctual and 'normal'..."
— Lauren Kate (Fallen)

"She buried her face in his shoulder. And while the truth still scared her, being in his arms made her feel like the sea finding its shore, like a traveler returning after a long, hard, distant trip-- finally returning home."
— Lauren Kate (Fallen)

"What if the one you were meant to be with, could never be yours?"
— Lauren Kate (Fallen)

"I don't understand what you're still doing here."
She blinked and nodded miserably, then began to turn away.
"No!" He pulled her back. "Don't leave. It's just that you've never—we've never... gotten this far." He closed his eyes. "Will you say it again?" he asked, almost shyly. "Will you tell me ... what I am?"
"You're an angel," she repeated slowly, surprised to see Daniel close his eyes and moan in pleasure, almost as if they were kissing. "I'm in love with an angel."

"The only way to survive eternity is to be able to appreciate each moment."

"Trust is a careless pursuit at best. At worst, it's a good way to get yourself killed."

Love is a temporary madness; it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.

"We are never more open to seeing the world and ourselves in a new light than when we are in crisis."

When a person cannot answer directly to your question probably the answer is too painful for you to know or too hard for them to admit.

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8 color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64 color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64 color box, though I've got a few missing. It's okay though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8 color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation. So when I meet someone who's an 8 color type...I'm like, hey girl, Magenta! and she's like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, no I want Magenta!"
— John Mayer

"Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."
— Mother Teresa

Unless you choose to take action on what you want, nothing is ever going to come out of it.. you drown not by falling into a river, but staying submerged in it.

Somewhere along that windy road. I had tried to find you..

Every girl has that one guy she goes back to, heartbreak after heartbreak, & nobody knows why, not even her. & she just can't let go.

You can never "just be friends" with somebody you used to love...simply because a little part of you will ALWAYS love them.

#iloveyoubecause holding your hand and staring into your eyes makes everything okay. Thank you

Every girl has three guys in her life: the one she loves, hates, and the one she can't live without. In the end, they're all the same guy.

The worst feeling is when someone makes you feel special, then suddenly leaves you hanging and you have to act like you don’t care at all.

I want to think about you all the time, tell you how much I love you, and how much I don't wanna ever lose you.

You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back. — Barbara De Angelis

A conclusion is the place u get to when ur tired of thinking

Never miss an opportunity to shut up

I hope you're doing fine without me, because I'm not doing too good without you.

Don't let people with "walk on" parts in your life upset you... they'll be gone in a matter of minutes

When you actually matter

When you actually matter to a person they will make time for you. No Lies. No excuses

patience is a virtue but waiting is a bitch
M Giffard

If you find a friend that it is an easy pleasure to talk to. Someone who it is an easy pleasure to be equally quiet with... someone kindred. Keep them. They do not come around as often as you think. They are priceless treasures

Debbie

When you were young, there was something someone noticed about you that revealed your budding talents. Remember the time you heard that and thought, "Hey, I'm different in this one way from everybody else". Well, that was the first step on a path to finding 'you'. Keep going no matter what

Time, precious time
How quickly the leaves fall from the tree.
Time, oh precious time
In a blink of an eye a child grows old.
And in the pursuit of joy and happiness
Lies time
But quickly it fades
And all we have are memories
Precious moments
Remembered in time.

the glorious sunset of my heart was fading...

The Unwritten Rule by Elizabeth Scott

"In The World Of Friendship, I'm awful" ~pg4

"Imagine a guy.He's taller than you, with perfect skin, skin that just screams "touch me!" and dark hair and gorgeous blue eyes and he looks so sweet and he is sweet. And then have him blush a little." ~pg16

""It was fun," Ryan says, which is a nice thing to say, a him thing to say, but when I look at him, one more look before he goes back to the party, to my best friend, he's looking at me like-
Well, like he wants to look at me. Like he likes what he sees, and he's smiling and his eyes are so blue, even in the faint glow of the porch light they shine, and I nod dumbly, blindly, and then grope for the door handle, telling myself to look away and yet not able to do it.
"Sarah," he says, softly, almost hesitantly, and mmy heart slam-bangs, beating hard, and this is what its like to want someone you cant have. To want someone you shouldn't even be looking at." ~pg36

"How does the eye shadow look?"
"Gorgeous," I say, and stand up, look at myself in the mirror. "How about me? How do I look?"
"Like Sarah," she says, and comes and stands behind me, hugging me and grinning at our reflection. "Like my best friend."
Not gorgeous. Not even pretty. I look like myself, whatever that means.
I know what it means, its nothing good. Its Ordinary. Boring.
Alone." ~pg65

"I wonder if there are sisters out there where one feels like she's a shadow of the other. If there's a girl with a sister who sometimes makes her feel like nothing." ~pg68

"In every breath I take there is the promise of his skin touching mine and i want that." ~pg82

"It was like we were all so busy trying to be happy or saying we are happy, but underneath there was nothing but bitterness, the kind that could only be bled out in ink, in unspoken words." ~pg100

"I am broken, I have cut myself wide open. I can see my heart and it is not what I believed it was, it is not good and kind and all the things I have always thought I am." ~pg116

"Right now, I hate My life way more than I hate me." ~pg122

"I think having a stupid heart is pretty damn painful, even if the pain isn't physical." ~pg132

"I need a cause to believe in. Something to fill the space in my heart that Ryan has written all over. Something noble, like fighting a disease." ~pg134

"I'm not that happy now, But I'll fake it until its real and things are normal again." ~pg135

"Do you ever wonder if people really know what they're supposed to do? Os there a moment where you just know what you're supposed to do forever?" ~pg138

"I've been taught that love is beautiful and kind, but it isn't like that at all. It is beautiful, but its a terrible beauty, a ruthless one, and you fall- you fall, and the thing is-
the thing is you want to. You don't care whats coming, you just want who your heart beats for." ~pg158

"Guilt and panic are making a mess of my insides. Of me." ~pg174

""Sometimes... sometimes you have to let people go," She says. "Brianna loves you, Sarah, but I don't think she was always a good friend to you."" ~pg200

"All the things I've thought about love are true. Its beautiful and terrible and it doesn't make things perfect. It ends things, and it brings beginnings." ~pg210

The Average heart beats about 43 hundred times an hour, that's 800 thousand times a week, 9 million times in a crisp fall and 2.7 billion beats in a lifetime. Well What is an Average heart anyway? And how many beats do broken hearts get?

"I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside. "
— F. Scott Fitzgerald

"That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong."
— F. Scott Fitzgerald

If I had to choose between being a heart or a brain I'd definitely choose a heart because at least you'd do something. If you're a brain, at the end of the day all you're really at is settling for shitty situations.

Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but, until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful.
