You forget all of it anyway. . . You forget who was cool and who was not, who was pretty, smart, athletic, and not. . . You forget all of them. Even the ones you said you loved, and even the ones you actually did. They’re the last to go. And then once you’ve forgotten enough, you love someone else.

Daddy always said you only explained things to the people that actually mattered.
Gabrielle Zevin
It was funny how dad was more honest in a book that anyone in the world could pick up and read than he could be talking to me. Or maybe it was sad. One or the other. Sometimes it’s hard to tell.

What are you reading? Owen asks. Charlotte's Web, Liz says. It's really sad. One of the main characters just died. You ought to read the book from end to beginning, Owen jokes. That way, no one dies, and it's always a happy ending.
Gabrielle Zevin
Oh, says Owen, but I would have, you know. I know you would have, says Liz, and knowing you would have is nearly as good.
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.
