Sometimes I can't see myself when I'm with you. I can only just see you.

For the girls with messy hair and thirsty hearts.

To not do what you can to protect someone, that's cowardly.

You have to be careful who you meet. You can't unmeet them.

Sometimes love means not being able to bear seeing the one you love the way they are, when they're not what you hoped for them.

Loyalty was a funny thing. So was love. They both bit you when you least expected it.

It made her think about how she couldn't believe how big the universe was, but how small it was for her.

I like being full of mystery and wonder, people always know im up to something but never know exactly what.

When you're little, time stretches obligingly, and vacation is forever.

In talking about the past, we lie with every breath we draw.
