― John Marrs, The One

“It’s Levi. Levi, who carried Pru to safety from the boathouse. Levi, who loves classic novels as much as I do. Levi, who sees me for who I am and excepts the good along with the bad. Who’s never known me as anything less than complicated and broken. And who’s loved me anyway.”
― Rebecca Hanover, The Pretenders

“Books, on the other hand â€� you borrow from a library until you find the book you love, and then you keep it. The library won’t let you borrow more books until you return it, but you never return it because you’ll never need any other book”
― Eden Finley, Blindsided

“You won’t have to spend time a lifetime translating your soul to the right one, they will understand you.
You won’t have to tell that person how to treat you, it will come naturally.
You won’t have to spend valuable time doubting your self worth because they’ll make you feel like you’re the only person in this world that matters.
When you meet the right one, you will know. You’ll feel it in your heart and bones that they’re meant for you.”
― JefaWild

“There is something indescribably important about having that one person in your life who you absolutely bond with. You have an understanding of who they are and they have an understanding of who you are in a way that no-one can match. They are capable of providing a reality check, and just simply being non-negotiably there. There really is no substitute and if there's one thing I would wish for younger people that would upgrade the quality of their lives and make them more secure and more capable it would be that they find a person with whom they can build such a relationship, and build it.”
― Bret Weinstein

“I realized I didn't need to be scared of being alone. It's okay to be alone, to not be with someone. What I really should be scared of is being with the wrong person. The kind of person who tries to change you. Who makes you feel like you're doing everything wrong. Who makes you feel like you need his approval. It's better to be alone for the rest of your life than to spend forever with someone like that.”
― Sarah Hocut, The Other Side

― Chad Alan Gibbs, Two Like Me and You

“Do I have the courage, this late in the game, to toss aside the prototypical Mr Right in hopes of finding Mr Absolutely Right? Or is that courage at all? Maybe it’s stupidity, or immaturity. Just where is that line between courage and arrogance, between wanting what’s right, and expecting more than we deserve?”
― Lori Nelson Spielman, The Life List

“I thought for sure she was the one. I felt it in my bones.
Now all I feel is remorse, because it wasn’t until ten seconds ago that I realized I’ve already moved on to another cycle. I’ve moved on to Willow.”
― Colleen Hoover, Layla

― Melina Marchetta, Saving Francesca

“The One Who Moves Me by Stewart Stafford

Her caress and laughter,
Cast out the darkness,
And lull the choppy waters,
Her embrace, a flowering meadow.

Her absence stills the earth,
Cracked ice on a frozen lake,
Asphyxiating silence descends,
The Faustian poker of loneliness.

Lexicons filled with her silences,
Seismic shifts of stinging rage,
She, in naked imperfection as I,
Together, reuniting in shelter.

“People often told him that Lan was very beautiful, but Pei had no opinion about that. He had never really noticed other women, and to say that a woman was or was not beautiful meant looking at her with an experienced eye.”
― Romain Gary, The Gasp

“One of the saddest realities in life:

Sometimes, no matter how much, how long, and how hard you love someone, it will always feel empty.

Why? Because deep in your heart, you know you're not the one.”
― Xy-sa Rhea, Love, Lavender Pen : Volume I

“Clutching his prize, Erik felt his face widen. She smiled back at him. Neither of them had said so much as hello yet she was looking at him with those eyes. Deep in the cathedral of his young being, Erik felt a bell toll, a peal of recognition. And for the rest of his life, he would swear, he would swear to anyone who asked, although nothing was said aloud, he heard Daisy Bianco speak to him. She said it with her eyes, he heard it clearly in his head, and it wasn’t hello.

It was, “Well, here you are.�

Here I am, he thought.

Her expression grew expansive. The green in her eyes deepened.

David cleared his throat. “Go put some shoes on, honey. Nails are all over the damn place.�

“See ya,� she said, looking at Erik. Her voice was soft, a secret meant only for his ears.

“Bye.� His mouth formed the word with barely a sound. It rose like a shimmering bubble and followed Daisy out the door.

Pointedly David retrieved his lunch. Erik surrendered it, and through the glass of the lighting booth he watched Daisy walk back down the aisle of the auditorium. Sat and watched her as the atoms in his body slowly rearranged themselves.”

“The One always remains the One. The division is appearance. The division and the life or existence of many is a phenomenon. One or Onenennes is Noumenon. Oneness is always present in plurality. Oneness is an underlying reality or Noumenon in action. For example, a universe like ours may have its birth and death, appearance and disappearance, while the universe as a totality, the sum of all, may still exist. In that case, Carlo Rovelli may be right in saying that “there is no such thing as a real void, one that is completely emptyâ€� (physicists have a consensus about this). Still, no universe, regardless of its size, can encompass nothingness or emptiness in its totality. All “spaceâ€� beyond, not confined or affected in any way by any universe, is a real void. We cannot talk about a real void within the Universe, but beyond it, there is such a thing as a real void.”

“Which is the better of the bunk beds in a prison cell? Generally, the upper bunk bed is the place, as it is typically the one next to the window and fresh air vent.”
