Everyone should get to experience a love like that. That kind of love that makes us better people.

With him being so charming, and so perfect, so heart-achingly beautiful, but tarnished in all of the right places, and in all of the ways that I understood so well, how could I not love him?

—R.K. Lilley in Mile High

I would love this man to the end of my days. I'd fallen too deep. Middle of the Pacific deep, with no land in sight. There was no going back. My heart was his forever.

—R.K. Lilley in Bad Things

I don't know how I even did it. Looking back from here, I have no idea where I found the strength to let you stay out of my life for so long.

—R.K. Lilley in Lovely Trigger

I'd be alone the rest of my life before I'd settle for less than a man that flat out adored me.

—R.K. Lilley in The Other Man

Lately I've been thinking it would have been better to have just been by myself. That way, at least all of high school wouldn't be tinged with his memory.

—Sarah Dessen in Along for the Ride

Try to leave the Earth a better place than when you arrived.

—Sidney Sheldon

The future will be better tomorrow.

—Dan Quayle

It is a common delusion that you make things better by talking about them.
