“In my heart, I’m as wild as the ocean that raised me.”  ― Alexandra Christo, To Kill a Kingdom

“My heart was so light I could have flown. The memory of it takes my breath away. I didn’t know happiness was that simple.”  ― Bridget Collins, The Binding

“It’s dark now and I am very tired. I love you, always. Time is nothing.”  ― Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

“If someone asks you how you are, you are meant to say FINE. You are not meant to say that you cried yourself to sleep last night because you hadn't spoken to another person for two consecutive days. FINE is what you say.”  ― Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
