Lauren Oliver
We should be protected from the people who will leave us in the end, from all the people who will disappear or forget us.
Lauren Oliver
But from the beginning, I knew that in a world where destiny was dead, I was destined, forever, to love him. Even though he didn't - though he couldn't - ever love me back.
Lauren Oliver
