How can it be so unclear to her when it's like the fingers on my hand to me?
Gayle Forman
Image
...the world feels so big when you're out in the wide open. It's like you don't have a place in it when you don't have a home. Your place is right here, I whispered, laying down and hugging her close.

Closure. I loathe that word.
Gayle Forman
Image
But then Mason touches my neck, to the spot on it where the cut from that night has since healed, and I pull away. He was right, after all it didn't leave a scar, though part of me wishes it had. At least I'd have some evidence, some justification of this permanence. Stains are even worse when you're the only one who can see them.
Gayle Forman
Image
The line between true self and feigned self is blurred on all sides. Which I think is a rather handy metaphor for falling in love.
Gayle Forman

It's just one day, one twenty-four-hour period to get yourself through. - Adam
Gayle Forman
Image
Whoever said that the past isn't dead had it backward. It's the future that's already dead, already played out.
Gayle Forman
Image
It's just accidental, just temporary. Until the next accident sends me somewhere new. That's how life works.

I realize it’s not just Willem I’m looking for it’s Lulu too.
