Meaningful Book Quote:
- Of course I love you. I could go back in time and have a whole life and get old and never see you again, and you would still be it. You were— you are the love of my life.”
- “Because you got what you need. And sometimes, the universe has your back.”
- “What it would be like to have someone bite down a smile when they point and say, "Yeah, her. She's mine" To live alongside someone, to kiss and be kissed, to be wanted”
- “There was this girl. I met her on a train. The first time I saw her, she was covered in coffee and smelled like pancakes, and she was beautiful like a city you always wanted to go to, like how you wait years and years for the right time, and then as soon as you get there, you have to taste everything and touch everything and know every street by name. I felt like I knew her. She reminded me who I was. She had soft lips, green eyes and a body that wouldn’t quit. Hair like you wouldn’t believe. Stubborn, sharp as a knife. And I never, ever wanted a person to save me until she did.”
