Gabrielle Zevin

Gabrielle Zevin
You can't avoid orphan stories, child. Every story is an orphan story. We are all orphaned sooner or later.
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
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
A life isn't measured in hours and minutes. It's the quality, not the length.
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.

Wounds are like water set to boil - they heal best left unwatched.
