“Loneliness is watching the only girl you’ve ever loved find happiness in the arms of another man.”
―
Winter Renshaw,
Royal
“I wanted him in the bluntest way. I wanted his lips, his hands, his arms. I wanted him the way the ocean wants the shore, constantly reaching and running back. I wanted him the way rain wants to fall, the way the sun wants to shine, the way words want to be read. I wanted him to infinity, to the millionth degree. No amount of rain could douse the fire I had in me for him.” ― Winter Renshaw, Pricked
“Life may not always be a fairytale, but it doesn’t mean we can’t make our own happily-ever-after.” ― Winter Renshaw, Royal

“The ones you least suspect should always be the ones you suspect the most…” ― Winter Renshaw, Arrogant Bastard
“It was never about the student-teacher dynamic,” he says. “It was only ever about you. All I ever wanted was the smart-mouthed girl who quoted Great Gatsby in a world where everyone else quoted Nickelback.” ― Winter Renshaw, Absinthe
“As much as I'm at odds with the idea of love, I can't help but find myself in love with the idea of you.” ― Winter Renshaw, Absinthe

“Good words never expire.” ― Winter Renshaw, Absinthe
“Don’t stay married to your job too long,” she says. “One of these days you’re going to wake up and you might be lonely, and you’ve squandered the best years of your life away for the one thing that can never love you back.” ― Winter Renshaw, Heartless
“Nietzsche says, “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process, he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” ― Winter Renshaw, The Cruelest Stranger

“It’s a strange war we wage against ourselves, trying to convince our heads of things our heart knows to be true. Our head loves reason, logic. Our heart rejects it. Only one will win.” ― Winter Renshaw, The Best Man
“Part of me wants to pick up where we left off. Part of me wants to jump in your arms and kiss you and smell you and feel you and lose myself in everything about you. And the other part of me hates you. Because you’ve ruined love for me, Royal. I’m never going to love anyone the way I loved you, and I want to. So. Much. I want to feel the way I felt with you…with anyone but you. And I’ve tried. And I can’t. And I hate you for that.” ― Winter Renshaw, Royal
“They say optimism is like a muscle. You have to exercise it to make it stronger. You have to practice it to make it second nature. They also say happiness is a choice, and it hits me now that perhaps I’ve been inadvertently choosing unhappiness for years without even realizing it.” ― Winter Renshaw, For Lila, Forever
