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.

Gabrielle Zevin
Betty inhales sharply, 'It's just I thought I had lost you forever.' Oh, Betty, don't you know there's no such thing as forever?
Gabrielle Zevin
When I was in my twenties and broke, I'd buy books before food. A meal will sustain you for a few hours, a good book will sustain you for life.
Gabrielle Zevin
It was strange, really. A couple months ago, I had thought I couldn’t live without him. Apparently I could.
Gabrielle Zevin
...lies can sound awfully pretty when a girl is in love with the person telling them.
Gabrielle Zevin
I have so much paperwork. I'm afraid my paperwork has paperwork.
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.
Gabrielle Zevin
