More quotes by Deb Caletti
But sometimes, too, you have this little feeling of knowing, this fuzzy, gnawing sense that someone will become a major something in your life. You just know that theirs will be a life you will enter and become a part of.
Deb Caletti
We can get so wrapped up in our own misconceptions that we miss the simple beauty of the truth.
Deb Caletti
...forever is hard enough without it beginning now.

Accents are funny in that they have this odd draw for us, yet we forget we have one, too. No one is without an accent, but the one you’ve got seems like oatmeal to their caviar.
Deb Caletti
An untold story has a weight that can submerge you, sure as a sunken ship at the bottom of the ocean.
Deb Caletti
I'd always thought telling the truth to other people was hard, but maybe that was a snap compared to telling the truth to yourself. Sometimes we just refused to know what we knew.

Deb Caletti
You were a stone wall, a fort in high, unreachable trees, an island, my own island, that no boat could reach.
Deb Caletti
This is not to say I don’t feel my own grief, which can hit powerfully at unexpected times. It’s just that the telling does not automatically bring on my own upset, as people assume. I deal more with their reaction than they do with mine, and so you have to choose your timing.
Deb Caletti
Fear was the biggest bullshitter, he’d said. But sometimes, too, fear told the truth.
Deb Caletti
I've heard that people stand in bad situations because a relationship like that gets turned up by degrees. It is said that a frog will jump out of a pot of boiling water. Place him in a pot and turn it up a little at a time, and he will stay until he is boiled to death. Us frogs understand this.
Deb Caletti
Hurt is a weapon. Better weapon than most because it doesn't look like one.
Deb Caletti
...we are all a volume on the shelf of the... library, a story unto ourselves, never possibly described with one word or even very accurately with thousands.
