“Colpo
di fulmine. The thunderbolt, as Italians call it. When love strikes someone
like lightning, so powerful and intense it can’t be denied. It’s beautiful and
messy, cracking a chest open and spilling their soul out for the world to see.
It turns a person inside out, and there’s no going back from it. Once the
thunderbolt hits, your life is irrevocably changed.”

J.M. Darhower, Sempre
“Bryce's
face crumpled as she lurched to her feet, sprinting to the Gate.
She
didn't care how it was possible as Danika said again, "Light it up"
Then
Bryce was laughing and sobbing as she screamed, "LIGHT IT UP, DANIKA!
LIGHT IT UP, LIGHT IT UP, LIGHT IT UP!"
Bryce
slammed her palm onto the bronze disk of the Gate.
And
soul to soul with the friend whom she had not forgotten, the friend who had not
forgotten her, even in death, Bryce made the Drop.”

Sarah J. Maas, House of Earth and Blood
“Friendship

Mindy Kaling, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?
“V-Day…if
you need this one day in a year to show everyone else you truly care for “your
loved one” I think it’s quite stupid. I hate this commercialism. It’s all
artificial, and has nothing to do with real love.”
―

heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing
something we must learn
And

If

“There
used to be days that I thought I was okay, or at least that I was going to be.
We'd be hanging out somewhere and everything would just fit right and I would
think 'it will be okay if it can just be like this forever' but of course
nothing can ever stay just how it is forever.”
―
Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“There
is a primal reassurance in being touched, in knowing that someone else, someone
close to you, wants to be touching you. There is a bone-deep security that goes
with the brush of a human hand, a silent, reflex-level affirmation that someone
is near, that someone cares.”
―
Jim Butcher, White Night
“A
real friend isn't capable of feeling sorry for you.”
―
Jodi Picoult, My Sister’s Keeper
