Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone’s bad qualities because they somehow complete you. -- Sarah Dessen
There comes a time in every life when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your heart. -- Sarah Dessen
Anyone can hide. Facing up to things, working through them, that’s what makes you strong. -- Sarah Dessen
No matter how much time has passed, these things still affect us and the world we live in. If you don’t pay attention to the past, you’ll never understand the future. It’s all linked together. -- Sarah Dessen
You can’t always get the perfect moment. Sometimes, you just have to do the best you can under the circumstances. -- Sarah Dessen
I wondered which was harder, in the end. The act of telling, or who you told it to. Or maybe if, when you finally got it out, the story was really all that mattered. -- Sarah Dessen
Holding people away from you, and denying yourself love, that doesn’t make you strong. If anything, it makes you weaker. Because you’re doing it out of fear. -- Sarah Dessen
Everyone has their weak spot. The one thing that, despite your best efforts, will always bring you to your knees, regardless of how strong you are otherwise. -- Sarah Dessen
I had no illusions about love anymore. It came, it went, it left casualties or it didn’t. People weren’t meant to be together forever, regardless of what the songs say. -- Sarah Dessen
