More quotes by Gabrielle Zevin
It is a lie that people who love each other must know everything about each other. Love must occasionally allow for a gap.
Gabrielle Zevin
As many have discovered, it is entirely possible (although not particularly desirable) to love two people with all your heart. It is entirely possible to long for two lives, to feel that one life can't come close to containing it all.

Before I liked to write, I liked to type. I remember visiting my grandmother Adele in Ponce Inlet, Florida, when I was three years old, and she had an IBM electric typewriter.

Ask two people to tell you anything, you’ll get two versions. Even easy things like directions, let alone important or semi-controversial topics like why a fight started or what a person was generally like. If you don’t know something for yourself, you just can’t be sure.
Gabrielle Zevin
There's a strange sort of quiet when you're dying. It's as if you're in a glass room, and the walls keep getting thicker and thicker.
Gabrielle Zevin

My heart was a little bit broken, but I still had to go to school. I buttoned my dress shirt over it and my winter coat, too. I hoped it didn't show too much.
Gabrielle Zevin
It was such a sweet, sad song with such sweet, sad lyrics. Old-fashioned a little, but also timeless.
Gabrielle Zevin
There's a pleasure to loving someone even when you know there's no chance in them loving you back. The pain I felt let me know I was still alive.
Gabrielle Zevin
Someday, you do not know when, you will be driving down the road and someday, you do not now when, you will make a wrong tun. At the end of the road, when you're least expecting it, he (or indeed she) will be there.
Gabrielle Zevin
Saying you're through with romance is like saying you're done with living, Betty. Life is better with a little romance, you know.
Gabrielle Zevin
Diving is a leap of faith plus gravity.
Gabrielle Zevin
I met a travler from an ancient land.
Gabrielle Zevin
It's sad when you think about it, but also kind of beautiful.
Gabrielle Zevin
The truth is, sometimes too much can happen in a relationship, and then there's nothing anyone can do or say. It's broken.
Gabrielle Zevin
For the longest time after that, neither of us said anything. I was unaccustomed to his silence, but I didn't mind it. I knew near everything about him, and he knew near everything about me, and all that made our quiet a kind of song. The kind you hum without even knowing what it is or why you're humming it. The kind that you've always known.
Gabrielle Zevin
