More quotes by Deb Caletti
Truth was funny, because it was an insistent thing, maybe as powerful and insistent as some force of nature, the push of water or wind. You could keep it out only so long, but it had its own will and its own needs, and maybe you could keep it at bay with lies, but not for long, not for always.
Deb Caletti

The magic of purpose and of love in its purest form. Not televison love, with its glare and hollow and sequined glint not sex and allure, all high shoes and high drama, everything both too small and in too much excess, but just love. Love like rain, like the smell of a tangerine, like a surprise found in your pocket.
Deb Caletti
A drop of poison on that gathering snow. That moment in the fairy tale when we know what just happened but the princess doesn’t.
Deb Caletti
I felt a constant, low-flying desperation, the kind you feel when you are trying, trying, trying to get something you will never, ever get.
Deb Caletti
We should not give away a moment to anyone who does not deserve it.
Deb Caletti
It took me years to figure out that upset was upset, and tumultuousness was not the same thing as passion. Love isn't drama.
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.
Deb Caletti
It was all the things you could never understand and could never possess that made you ache.
Deb Caletti
Supposedly there's an actual, researched link between extreme creativity and mental illness, and I believe it because I've seen it with my own eyes.
