He kissed me, though not in a sexy way. Gentle. Tender.
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
My beautiful Win. I wanted to kiss him on every last broken place, but his mother and my lawyer were there. So, instead I started to cry.

I was just thinking... isn't it lucky that we decided to become co-editors? If one takes a blow to the head, the other can fill in. If the other's lung spontaneoulsy collapses, the one can fill in. It's a perfect system once you think about it. ~Will Landsman

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
But I believe good things happen everyday. I believe good things happen even when bad things happen. And I believe on a happy day like today, we can still feel a little sad. And that's life, isn't it?
Gabrielle Zevin
He told me that love was the only thing that really mattered in the world.
Gabrielle Zevin

Gabrielle Zevin
I know you did, lass. You're the toughest girl I know. 'Lass'? Where did that come from? I don't know. I just felt the urge to call you that.
Gabrielle Zevin
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. The kind that you've always known.
Gabrielle Zevin
Life used to move much more quickly when I was a girl. We needed to abbreviate just to keep up.
Gabrielle Zevin
I let myself feel good and sorry for myself, but only for a second. Daddy always said that the most useless of all human emotions was self-pity.
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
