Quote

When I published my first novel, Slammed, I included lyrics at the beginning of each chapter from one of my favorite bands, The Avett Brothers. The overwhelmingly positive response from readers to those lyrics really surprised me.

I need someone who is willing to watch me brave the ocean and then dare me not to drown.

It's not just lies they're referring to. It's life. You can't run to another town, another place, another state. Whatever it is you're running from-it goes with you. It stays with you until you find out how to confront it.
Colleen Hoover
Image
Question everything. Your love, your religion, your passion. If you don't have questions, you'll never find answers.
Colleen Hoover
Image
Never judge others. You both know good and well how unexpected events can change who a person is. Always keep that in mind. You never know what someone else is experiencing within their own life.
Colleen Hoover
Image
My lack of access to the real world has been replaced completely by books, and it can’t be healthy to live in a land of happily ever afters.
Colleen Hoover

Whatever connection we thought we had before this...it doesn't compare to this moment. No matter what happens between us in life, this moment has just merged pieces of our souls together. Well always have that, and in a way it's comforting to know.

Push your boundaries, that's what they're there for.

If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die.

Love isn't always pretty. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it'll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you're back to square one, and you lost your heart somewhere along the way.
Colleen Hoover
Image
This thing about you that you think is your flaw - it's the reason I'm falling in love with you.
Colleen Hoover
Image
Keep an open mind it's the only way new things can get in.
Colleen Hoover
Image
We try so hard to hide everything we're really feeling from those who probably need to know our true feelings the most. People try to bottle up their emotions, as if it's somehow wrong to have natural reactions to life.
Colleen Hoover
Image
When you aren't sure what it is you hate or why you even hate it, it's hard to hold onto the details...you just hold on to the feelings.
Colleen Hoover
Image
I’m the only one that can be held accountable for the way my life turns out.
Colleen Hoover
Image
The sky is always beautiful.Even when it's dark or rainy or cloudy,it's still beautiful to look at....it'll be there no matter what...and I know it'll always be beautiful.
Colleen Hoover
Image
Love and hate, despite their polar opposites, are both feelings that are induced by passion. I can handle that. It's the indifference I don't know how to process.
Colleen Hoover
Image
A guy can tell a girl he's in love with her until he's blue in the face. Words don't mean anything to a woman when her head's full of doubt. You have to show her.

Some secrets should never turn into confessions. I know that better than anyone.

Nothing is permanent. The only thing any of us have in common is the inevitable.
