That Woman is in love with her own grief.
Gabrielle Zevin
Life used to move much more quickly when I was a girl. We needed to abbreviate just to keep up.
Gabrielle Zevin
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.
Gabrielle Zevin
Before I liked to write, I liked to type. I remember visiting my grandmother Adele in Ponce Inlet, Florida, when I was three years old, and she had an IBM electric typewriter.
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
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
Well, for one, you have to remember not to scream. Once you have their attention, whispering is much more effective. Screaming ghosts scare people, you know
Gabrielle Zevin
It was odd to have something so personal out there in that way, but the good thing about art is that no one necessarily knows what you mean by it anyway.
Gabrielle Zevin
I met a travler from an ancient land.
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
I have so much paperwork. I'm afraid my paperwork has paperwork.
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
Let's stay young forever. Young, stupid, and pretty. Sounds like a plan, don't you think?
Gabrielle Zevin
Love stories are written in millimeters and milliseconds with a fast, dull pencil whose marks you can barely see, they are written in miles and eons with a chisel on the side of a mountiantop
Gabrielle Zevin
It was such a sweet, sad song with such sweet, sad lyrics. Old-fashioned a little, but also timeless.
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
He told me that love was the only thing that really mattered in the world.
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
My brain said no. But my heart!
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.
