It's shocking the things we call love.
Deb Caletti
Sometimes I’ve even wished there was a human pause button, where you could choose some point in your life where you could stay always.
Deb Caletti
I vow... to not let the back & forth of forgiveness interrupt the steadiness of love.

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.

...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.

Cars are all jammed up all along the road and a light turns red and someone honks. In every one of those cars there is a story or a hundred stories. For every light on in al of those huge city buildings there is a story. No one knows what I am about to face and no one knows my story and neither do I right then.

It was possible, maybe, to have facts in your mind that weren't facts at all. You could build a whole life's story on false assumptions. You could make truths out of untruths and untruths out of truths. Until you spoke them, really said them out loud or checked for sure, you may not have known which were which.

Deb Caletti
Funny the only two times we use the phrase seeing someone are when we are referring to being in a a relationship or getting psychological help.
Deb Caletti
One of the hardest tasks as a human being is knowing when to keep an open mind, and when not to.
Deb Caletti
You were supposed to have hope, right? You were supposed to respect its power and hold on. And so I did. I held, and held, and let hope fill me. But as the days went on, it seemed I could be holding for a long, long time. Hope could be the most powerful thing or the most useless
Deb Caletti
She'd be one of those parents who left a kid behind at a rest stop, driving for miles before she noticed. We'd hear about her on the evening news.
Deb Caletti
It occurred to me then that a lot of life was either about wanting and not having, or having and not wanting.
Deb Caletti
Sometimes that´s all you need…, to know it´s not broken. To know you’re still whole and that you’ll heal.
Deb Caletti
Stories took twists and turns down fairy-tale paths or down very human everyday ones. You think you’re at the end of the book, and it’s only the end of a chapter.
Deb Caletti
I didn't walk over and talk to him, though, not then. If I needed the time for a tree branch to become just a tree branch again and the wind to become just the wind, then a boy, most of all, needed some time to be only a boy.

I was a book lover from the beginning. I loved, love, words and images and ideas, the ways a book can make you feel things deeply or help you understand something you never even knew there were words for.
Deb Caletti
