"Nora."He just barely smiles. “You’re in books. Of course you don’t have a life. None of us do. There’s always something too good to read."
"Sometimes, even when you start with the last page and you think you know everything, a book finds a way to surprise you."
"The last-page ache. The deep breath in after you’ve set the book aside."
"That’s the thing about women. There’s no good way to be one. Wear your emotions on your sleeve and you’re hysterical. Keep them tucked away where your boyfriend doesn’t have to tend to them and you’re a heartless bitch."
"If I had to pick one person to be in my corner, it’d be you. Every time."
"So if you’re the ‘wrong kind of woman,’ then I’m the wrong kind of man."
"Those were the endings I found solace in. The ones that said, Yes, you have lost something, but maybe, someday, you’ll find something too."
“How do you do that?” His brow furrows. “Do what?” “Say the right thing.” The corner of his mouth quirks. “No one thinks that.” “I do.” His lashes splay across his cheeks as his gaze drops. “Maybe I just say the right thing for you."
"I know,” he says. “I can read you like a book."
"You fucking undo me."
"Maybe its possible to have more than one home. Maybe it’s possible to belong in a hundred different ways to a hundred different people and places."
"Some books you don’t read so much as live, and finishing one of those always makes me think of ascending from a scuba dive. Like if I surface too fast I might get the bends."
"Just because not everyone gets you doesn't mean you're wrong."
"A good bookstore,” Charlie says, “is like an airport where you don’t have to take your shoes off."
"A reminder that there are things in life so valuable that you must risk the pain of losing them for the joy of briefly having them."
Book Lovers, by Emily Henry

Shout out to all the students who aren't good at what they're passionate about, who can't concentrate on their study, who didn't win an award, who always thought they going to drop out but made it, who aren't passionate about what they're good at, who can't ask question or answer infront of whole class, who didn't have any friend throughout the whole session, who was going through difficult times because of their family issues, who have any kind of physical or mental illness, who love to study but hate giving exams. To all the students out there I'm so proud of you and you are so strong.
