the rest of us just live here, by patrick ness
“Everything’s always ending. But everything’s always beginning, too.” (pg. 342)

the fill-in boyfriend, by kasie west
“We rarely find a depth by looking inside of ourselves for it. Depth is found in what we can learn from the people and things around us. Everyone, everything, has a story, Gia. When you learn those stories, you learn experiences that fill you up, that expand your understanding. You add layers to your soul.”

I really liked the quote from All the Bright Places! I really want to read that book now!
I love the quote from the Wrath and the Dawn because it’s totally relateable in real life situations 🙂
I highly recommend you read twilight. It’s one of those YA classics. It’s crap but it’s addicting crap. But anyways, I love this blog. And I don’t really feel Chaol either. He’s just so annoying to me. Always nagging and being jealous im currently reading the second book in the throne of glass series but i love it so far
YOU’RE CUTTING ME DEEP WITH THAT PATRICK NESS QUOTE. ;D
These are some gorgeous quotes! It reminded me that I’ve been wanting to do an update favourite quotes post! Thanks for the reminder 😉 I love that Ness quote, especially. it’s so beautiful.
