This is what happens when nice people are pushed too far. We give too many chances, and so when we've finally had enough, we are well and truly done. When a nice person shuts a door on you, it's shut for good.

More quotes by Deb Caletti
... But then again, a person could turn ugly. Their actual look could change when their actions were repulsive.
Deb Caletti
It made me wonder how many times we forgive just because we don't want to lose someone, even if they don't deserve our forgiveness.

You've got to have someone who loves your body. Who doesn't define you, but sees you. Who loves what he sees. Who you don't have to struggle to be good enough for.
Deb Caletti
Because words were hills and valleys you traveled, so lovely sometimes that they hurt your eyes.
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
It was all the things you could never understand and could never possess that made you ache.
Deb Caletti
But what I wanted back had never really been there. He was a temporary illusion, a mirage of water after walking in the desert. I had made him up. And he could have killed me. You've got to stop the ride sometimes. Stop it and get off.

Love seems to be something to approach with caution, as if you'd come across a wrapped box in the middle of the street and have no idea what it contains.
Deb Caletti
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
so what brings you to the doctor today? hmm, im afraid i have the chronic desire to save people i know about that. i've got it too. maybe it's catching. not catching enough
Deb Caletti
Blessed books—they’re a place to be alone, and no one else can come in.
Deb Caletti
I thought I might cry, the way you do when someone gives you some kindness when you most need it but when it seems the most surprising thing.
Deb Caletti
Maybe a person's world can grow bigger in all the right ways, not too wide that it becomes shallow, just large enough to preserve its depth.
Deb Caletti
When you raise an animal, you live it like your own child.
Deb Caletti
I vow... to not let the back & forth of forgiveness interrupt the steadiness of love.
Deb Caletti
I finally learned that it was all right to say something wasn’t working for me when it wasn’t working. The world doesn’t come crashing down when you speak the truth.
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
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.

Sometimes you're sure dogs have some secret, superior intelligence, and other times you know they're only their simple, goofy selves.
