Dearna (Words of the Roses)

“He fit so perfectly in the love story I'd imagined for myself that I mistook him for the love of my life.”

“The past doesn't exist. There is nothing to be sorry for. Today is when we start to live. Look... look at the sea. The sea has no past. It is just there. It will never ask us to explain. The stars, the moon are there to light our way, to shine for us. What do they care what might have happened in the past? They are accompanying us, and are happy with that; can you see them shine? The stars are twinkling in the sky; would they do that if the past mattered? Wouldn't there be a huge storm if God wanted to punish us? We are alone, you and I, with no past, no memories, no guilt, nothing that can stand in the way of... our love.”
― Ildefonso Falcones, La catedral del mar

“I’ve never met someone who is so perfectly my favorite person.”
― Emily Henry, Beach Read

“Dazzle the monsters, Nadya. You've already charmed the worst of the lot; the rest should be easy.”
