If this was my forever, I wouldn’t want to spend it here.
— Sarah Dessen (The Truth About Forever)
It’s just that…I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It’s the universe’s way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It’s how life is.
— Sarah Dessen (The Truth About Forever)
Some things don’t last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there.
— Sarah Dessen (The Truth About Forever)
Everyone had a forever, but given a choice, this would be mine. The one that began in this moment, with Wes, in a kiss that took my breath away and gave it back—leaving me astounded, amazed, and most of all, alive.
— Sarah Dessen (The Truth About Forever)
Forever was so many different things. It was always changing, it was what everything was really all about. It was twenty minutes, or a hundred years, or any instant I wished would last and last. But there was only one truth about forever that really mattered, and that was this: it was happening.
