People aren't always what you want them to be. Sometimes they disappoint you or let you down, but you have to give them a chance first. You can't just meet someone and expect them to be everything you're looking for and then be angry when they're not every hope and aspiration you projected onto them. It's foolish to believe that someone will be what you imagine them to be. And sometimes, when you give them a chance, they turn out to be better than you imagined. Different, but better. —Chloe Rattray in Sacré Noir More about this quote Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
When you meet an extraordinary person, it's like they get inside you, under your ribs, and shuffle everything inside you around until they find space for greatness to grow. But extraordinary people always get away. And when they leave, they take that little part of you with them. Suddenly you find yourself with a gap in your chest that you don't know how to live with. Suddenly you're frightened of being yourself without them. —Chloe Rattray in Sacré Noir More about this quote Tags: fear friendship loss growth Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email

A week feels like a year when you're seventeen and in love. A twenty minute drive might as well be an ocean. But we were together again and the whole world was rejoicing, even the gravel crunched melodiously under our feet as we danced onward through the night. —Chloe Rattray in Sacré Noir More about this quote Tags: love time perception happiness summer distance Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
