People, you'll find, aren't usually all good or bad. Sometimes they're just a little bit good and a whole lot bad. And sometimes they're mostly good with a dash of bad. And most of us, well, we fall in the middle somewhere.

I met a travler from an ancient land.
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.

A life isn't measured in hours or minutes. Its the quality not the length. All things considered I've been luckier than most. Almost sixteen years on Earth, and I've already had eight good ones here. I expect to have eight more before all's good said and done. Nearly thirty-two years total, and that's not too shabby

A life isn't measured in hours and minutes. It's the quality, not the length.

Chocolate doesn't solve everything, Nana. It solves a whole heck of a lot, though.
Gabrielle Zevin
He told me that love was the only thing that really mattered in the world.
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.
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
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
But I wondered if all this kissing was a bad habit with him and me. The thing we did with our mouths instead of talking.
Gabrielle Zevin
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.
