This is it--what all the hoopla is about, what Wuthering Heights is about--it all boils down to this feeling rushing through me in this moment with Joe as our mouths refuse to part. Who knew all this time I was one kiss away from being Cathy and Juliet and Elizabeth Bennet and Lady Chatterley!?
Jandy Nelson
You have to see the miracles for there to be miracles.
Jandy Nelson
Grief is forever. It doesn't go away it becomes part of you, step for step, breath for breath.
Jandy Nelson
Someone might as well roll up the whole sky, pack it away for good.
Jandy Nelson
This is what I want: I want to grab my brother’s hand and run back through time, losing years like coats falling from our shoulders.
