“People always talk about realizing they’re in love during the happy moments, but I think you realize it in the bad ones. The ones that knock you off center, scaring you when they prove that no matter what kind of logic is in your head, it’s what’s in your heart that determines fucking everything.”

Tell Me Lies
“It’s funny—when you get what you want, it almost automatically decreases in value.” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“But the irony in unbearable things is that they actually are bearable. They force you to endure what you cannot comprehend enduring. They demand that you sit in unimaginable pain.” ― Carola Lovering, Too Good to Be True
“Everyone has that guy, Luce. That one guy you think you’ll never be able to shake—the one who gets under your skin and epically fucks you up for a little while. I know I did.” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“Love—real love—isn’t something you construct or hope or imagine or plan for the future. Love is something you live and feel in real time, in every single moment, big or small. It’s reciprocal and often unglamorous. But we bank on it because it’s what gives life meaning.” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“didn’t know if I was addicted to the pain or if love was pain that you had to push through in order to access something greater, a final result you didn’t understand but stored your faith in.” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“You know what they say—charm is the ability to make someone think that both of you are quite wonderful.” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“Well, time and space give you clarity, and sometimes you don’t realize things until . . . you do.” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“And all of a sudden I know, because when you figure out the truth you can feel it, hot and deep in your bones,” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“I’ve seen your potential, and it’s our job as human beings to bring it out in each other.” ― Carola Lovering, Too Good to Be True
“My heart felt empty and full at the same time.” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“Love isn't enough. I never used to understand that expression, but I do now. You can love someone completely and it still isn't enough to make it work.” ― Carola Lovering, Too Good to Be True
“The bartender appeared and asked what I wanted. I didn’t know or care. A bottle of Xanax. A loaded gun. I ordered a vodka tonic.” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“I swore that I’d never date anyone again unless I had that feeling—the feeling that everything had been flipped inside me, for the better.” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“What I’ve come to learn and what most people fail to understand is that love is a choice. If you assess the worth of your relationship solely in terms of your feelings it is likely to fail, or at least be extremely short-term. You cannot go on having these “feelings” for someone forever. With girls, the exciting part is winning their affection. That’s the fun. Then you have to choose who you’re going to love, backed by the reasons why.” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“What many people fail to understand is that the world is carved by nature’s laws, not moral values.” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“Being scared is a part of this journey called life. And sometimes fear has something to teach us.” ― Carola Lovering, Too Good to Be True
“I was still wired from the coke but felt the anxious onset of depression creeping in at the back of my brain, like a leech.” ― Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies
“Well, nobody’s perfect. When people pass away, it’s sometimes easier to pretend that they were.” ― Carola Lovering, Too Good to Be True
