Comfortable by John Mayer |

001. So close, I thought...But wasn't that always thew ay. It's never something huge that changes everything, but instead the tiniest of details, irrevocably tweaking the balance of the universe while you're busy focusing on the big picture. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 30
002. Funny how a beautiful song could tell such an ugly story. It seemed unfair, like a trick. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 53
003. It was like discovering that some part of you wasn't all yours at all, and it made me wonder what else I couldn't claim. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 53
004. When someone was gone, they were gone. She didn't waste another minute thinking about them, and niether should you. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 62
005. I didn't trust anyone. Not for directions, not for advice, either. Sure, it sucked to be lost, but I'd long ago realized I preferred it to depending on anyone else to get me where I needed to go. That was the thing about being alone, in theory or in principle. Whatever happened--good, bad, or anywhere in between--it was always, if nothing else, all your own. --Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 72
006. There was just something obvious about emptiness, even when you try to convince yourself otherwise. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 88
007. It was important to simple be sought, even if you didn't ever want to be found. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 161
008. Not everything's perfect, especially in the beginning. And it's alright to have a little bit of regret every once in a while. It's when you feel it all the time and can't do anything about it...that's when you get into trouble. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p.170
009. Leaving was easy. It was everything else that was so damned hard. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 202
010. You get what you give, but also what you're willing to take. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 232
011. Everyone has their weak spot. The one thing that, despite your best efforts, will always bring you to your knees, regardless of how strong you are otherwise. For some people, it's love. Others money or alcohol. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 253
012. That was the thing about taking help and giving it, or so I learned: there was no such thing as really getting even. Instead, this connection, once opened, remained ongoing over time. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 270
013. There are a lot of people in the world. No one ever sees everything the same way you do; it just doesn't happen. So when you find one person who gets a couple of things, especially if they're important ones...you might as well hold onto them. You know? -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 312
014. Who was I to tell anyone how to be saved? Only the girl who had tried everyway not to be. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 363
015. It's a lot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching, and rarely discovered--so many locks, not even keys. --Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 365
016. Sometimes we just have to be happy with what people can offer us. Even if its not what we want, at least it's something. --Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 368
017. The further you go, the more you have to be proud of. At the same time, in order to come a long way you have to be behind to begin with. In the end, though, maybe it's not how you reach a place that matters. Just thought you get there at all. --Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p 387
018. What is family? They were the people who claimed you. In good, in bad, in parts or in whole, they were the ones who showed up, who stayed in there, regardless. It wasn't just about blood relations or shared chromosomes, but something wider, bigger...we had many families over time. Our family of origin, the family we created, as well as the groups you moved through while all of this was happening: friends, lovers, sometimes even strangers. None of them were perfect, and we couldn't expect them to be. You couldn't make any one person your world. The trick was to take what each could give and you build a world from it. -- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 400
019. Needing was so easy: it came naturally, like breathing. Being needed by someone else, though, that was the hard part. But as with giving help and accepting it, we had to do both to be made complete--like links overlapping to form a chain, or a lock finding the right key. --Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, p. 401
020. "I promise to make you happy because that's all I want and that's the truth." -- An excerpt from my own life. He's a sweetheart.
