(Is that ever enough?) I wanted to survive. I had to. I never called  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Even if their supplies of love are finite, they've figured out that life is, too, and they're no longer rationing  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Here, falling in love can be an event, a proclamation without acknowledging that everyone you love could die an awful death, that loving someone is an acceptance of impending loss  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) She knows that it's fear that keeps her love in check. but what if falling in love I a sign not of weakness but of courage? what if it isn't falling or crashing but taking a leap?  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) The box we stored God I kept getting smaller... until only a speck of god still exists, maybe only an atom. Maybe an atom is all we need  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) People never outgrow wanting to be liked for being who they truly are, especially when they've grown up in the limelight or its shadowy edge  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) When you're in the world looking for only one thing, you find it or it finds you. The obsession can be mutual  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Don't talk about dying? You want me to talk about love. They're one and the same, child. One and the same  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Love is a luxury. It's something that people are allowed to indulge in when they're not simply trying to survive and keep other people alive  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) But she's still afraid that the more she misses him - his face, his skin, the way he looked at her - and the more hope she has that she'll see him again, the more she has to lose  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Weakness, like not being able to bury the past. Weakness, like not giving up hope when you know you should  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) A wave could crash down on an individual and sweep them out to sea. But if we stand together, we buoy up and then down. It's but a ripple  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) What if God and the truth are the same thing? What if the truth is at the center of everything? If you believe in that, you believe that the truth will win out in the end. It will reveal itself  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) They need each other. They always have and always will. Maybe he should just be happy with that fact. Not everyone gets to need someone and to be needed permanently, forever  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) Writers aren’t born properly labeled so it is hard to know one when one appears  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) She knows that whispers can be useful. Sometimes they contain real information. But usually they're fairy tales and lies. This is the worst kind of whisper, the kind that draws you in, gives you hope  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) She glances back before stepping into the alley, and she catches her grandfather looking at her the way he does sometimes - as if she's already gone, as if he's practicing sorrow  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) So far, I should be calm and more specifically not like that... Anything else? Would you like to do surgery on my personality? How about open - heart surgery? I´ve got some tools  (Julianna Baggott Quotes) People know the difference between good and evil in their hearts - if they search them. Religions twist good and evil.
