The Betz Breakdown

"Love isn't war. Life is war; love is a truce you find in the middle of all that violence."

"I love beautiful things, beautiful people, the magnetism of someone you can't take your eyes off of."

"Souvenir: a memory you could buy. A memory you could plan to keep instead of being left with the rubble of what happened."

"Maybe we're all just works in progress."

“Nina understood, maybe for the first time, that letting people love you and care for you is part of how you love and care for them.”

"Sometimes reality comes crashing down on you. Other times reality simply waits for you to run out of the energy it takes to deny it."

“You don’t have to understand life. You just have to live it.”

“Books are letters in bottles, cast into the waves of time, from one person trying to save the world to another.”

"Before you said you were lonely. Now you're saying you were alone. It's not the same thing."

“People will just share the things that confirm their ideology, and those things will always exist."

"Even on this most terrible day, even when the most of us are all we can think of, I am proud to be a human."

"Sometimes it hurts, it really hurts, for no other reason than the fact that our skin doesn’t feel like it’s ours."

I don’t think the scale of other people’s problems makes your own any easier to live with.
