Quotes and Dialogues:

So,

Here are the dialogues and quotes I liked most from the novel,

 

“I love it when the sky makes me feel insignificant.”

 

“I feel his voice in my stomach. That’s not good. Voices should stop at the ears, but sometimes- not very often at all, actually- a voice will penetrate past my ears and reverberate straight down through my body.”

 

“I feel like everyone fakes who they really are, when deep down we’re all equal amounts of screwed up. Some of us are just better at hiding it than others.”

 

“There is no such thing as bad people. We’re all just people who sometimes do bad things.”

 

“No one is exclusively bad, not is anyone exclusively good. Some are just forced to work harder at suppressing the bad.”

 

“Sometimes you can’t control where your mind goes. You just have to train it not to go there anymore.”

 

“When I’m nervous, I kind of just clam up.”

 

“I think a good comedic timing is one of the most important things about a person’s personality.”

 

“We’re just alike. Plants and humans. Plants need to be loved the right way in order to survive. So do humans. We rely on our parents from birth to love us enough to keep us alive.”

 

“Most plants do need a lot of care to survive. But some things, like trees, are strong enough to do it by just relying on themselves and nobody else.”

 

“Do you ever do things you know are wrong, but are somehow also right?”

 

“This is just human nature, healing an old wound to prepare for a fresh new layer.”

 

“I like cartoons that make you laugh, but also make you feel something.”

 

“I’ve been feeling like drowning lately, and sometimes people need a reminder that they just need to keep swimming.”

 

“When life gets you down do you wanna know what you’ve gotta do? … Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.”

 

“I didn’t know one human was capable of feeling so much hate inside one heart.”

 

“You didn’t put pressure on me to be something I’m capable of being. You accept me exactly how I am.”

 

“The realization of what has just happened hurts worse than the actual action.”

 

“All humans make mistakes. What determines a person’s character aren’t the mistakes we make. It’s how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses.”

 

“I think about how sometimes, no matter how convinced you are that your life will turn out certain way, all that certainty can be washed away with a simple change in tide.”

 

“I’ve probably been experiencing the stages of grief in a sense. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.”

 

“I’ll keep pretending to swim, when really all I’m doing is floating. Barely keeping my head above water.”

 

“You are my wife. I’m supposed to be the one who protects you from the monsters. I’m not supposed to be one.”

 

“As humans, we can’t expect to shoulder all of our pain. Sometimes we have to share it with the people who love us so we don’t come crashing down from the weight of it all.”

 

“People spent so much time wondering why the women don’t leave. Where are all the people who wonder why the men are even abusive? Isn’t that where the only blame should be placed?”

 

“That’s one of the biggest signs a person has matured- knowing how to appreciate things that matter to others, even if they don’t matter very much to you.”

 

“Preventing your heart from forgiving someone you love is actually a lot harder than simply forgiving them.”

 

“Hatred is exhausting.”

 

“You can learn a lot about someone in ten minutes.”

 

“Just because someone hurts you doesn’t mean you can simply stop loving them. It’s not a person’s actions that hurts the most. It’s the love.”

 

“My tears have exhausted me. I am so tired of feeling.”

 

“Sometimes even grown women need their mother’s comfort so we can just take a break from having to be strong all the time.”

 

“The last thing you want to do is lose sight of your limit. Please don’t allow that to happen.”

 

“I think about how easy it is for humans to make judgments when we’re standing on the outside of a situation.”

 

“Sometimes parents have to work through their differences and bring a level of maturity into a situation in order to do what’s best for their child.”

 

“And as hard as this choice is, we break the pattern before the pattern breaks us.”

 

“Cycles exist because they are excruciating to break. It takes an astronomical amount of pain and courage to disrupt a familiar pattern. Sometimes it seems easier to just keep running in the same familiar circles, rather than facing the fear of jumping and possibly not landing on your feet.”

 

“It stops here. With me and you. It ends with us.”

 

“Some risks are never worth taking. Especially when those risks have failed you in the past.”

 

“You can stop swimming now. We finally reached the shore.”
