You’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else.

Colleen Hoover / quote

02Undated

Sometimes two people have to fall apart, to realize how much they need to fall back together.

Colleen Hoover / quote

03Undated

I...will never...regret you.

Colleen Hoover / quote

04Undated

When you find love, you take it. You grab it with both hands and you do everything in your power not to let it go. You can’t just walk away from it and expect it to linger until you’re ready for it.

Colleen Hoover / quote

05Undated

This thing about you that you think is your flaw - it's the reason I'm falling in love with you.

Colleen Hoover / quote

You can’t leave yet. I’m not finished falling in love with you.

Colleen Hoover / quote

07Undated

If we’re going to kiss, it has to be book-worthy.

Colleen Hoover / quote

08Undated

Does he treat you with respect at all times? That's the first question. The second question is, if he is the exact same person twenty years from now that he is today, would you still want to marry him? And finally, does he inspire to be a better person? You find someone you can answer yes to all three, then you've found a good man.

Colleen Hoover / quote

09Undated

I would never let anyone else borrow my heart if I know there’s a chance in hell you might want it back.

Colleen Hoover / quote

10Undated

The only difference between falling in love and being in love is that your heart already knows how you feel, but your mind is too stubborn to admit it.

Colleen Hoover / quote

11Undated

I think about you every second of every day and I don’t know how to get over you,” she says.“Don’t,” I beg her. “Please don’t get over me.

Colleen Hoover / quote

12Undated

You left with my soul in your fists and my heart in your teeth, and I don’t want either of them back.” ~Ben

Colleen Hoover / quote

13Undated

The fact that Ridge has been honest in his conversations with me is not something he did wrong. The fact that he has feelings for me also isn’t wrong, when you know exactly how much he’s fought those feelings. People can’t control matters of the heart, Warren. They can only control their actions, which is exactly what Ridge did. He lost control once for ten seconds, but after that, every single time temptation reared its ugly head, he walked in the other direction. The only thing Ridge has done wrong is fail to delete his messages, because by doing so, he failed to protect Maggie. He failed to protect her from the harsh truth that people don’t get to choose who they fall in love with. They only get to choose who they stay in love with.” I look up at the ceiling and blink back tears. “He was choosing to stay in love with her, Warren. Why can’t she see that? This will kill him so much more than it’s killing her.

Colleen Hoover / quote

14Undated

Don't take life too seriously. Punch it in the face when it needs a good hit. Laugh at it.

Colleen Hoover / quote

15Undated

Life happens. Shit happens. And it happens a lot. To a lot of people.

Colleen Hoover / quote

16Undated

One of the things I love about books is being able to define and condense certain portions of a character's life into chapters. It's intriguing, because you can't do this with real life. You can't just end a chapter, then skip the things you don't want to live through, only to open it up to a chapter that better suits your mood. Life can't be divided into chapters... only minutes. The events of your life are all crammed together one minute right after the other without any time lapses or blank pages or chapter breaks because no matter what happens life just keeps going and moving forward and words keep flowing and truths keep spewing whether you like it or not and life never lets you pause and just catch your fucking breath.I need one of those chapter breaks. I just want to catch my breath, but I have no idea how.

Colleen Hoover / quote

17Undated

Life is a funny thing. We only get so many years to live it, so we have to do everything we can to make sure those years are as full as they can be. We shouldn't waste time on things that might happen someday, or maybe even never.

Colleen Hoover / quote

18Undated

I wanted to cry because I needed you there with me so bad. I knew in that moment that I was in love with you. I was in love with the way you loved me. When you wrapped your arms around me and held me, I knew that no matter what happened with my life, you were my home. You stole the biggest piece of my heart that night.

Colleen Hoover / quote

19Undated

Regret is counterproductive. It's looking back on a past that you can't change. Questioning things as they occur can prevent regret in the future.

Colleen Hoover / quote

20Undated

Sometimes life doesn't happen in chronological order.

Colleen Hoover / quote

21Undated

You wanted to lick my face the first time you saw me? Is that usually what you do when you’re attracted to guys?” I shake my head. “Not your face, your dimple. And no. You’re the only guy I’ve ever had the urge to lick.” He smiles at me confidently. “Good. Because you’re the only girl I’ve ever had the urge to love.

Colleen Hoover / quote

22Undated

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Colleen Hoover / quote

Colleen Hoover / quote

24Undated

Sometimes we don’t get second chances, Owen. Sometimes things just end.”He winces. “We didn’t even get a first chance.
