More quotes by Sarah Dessen, This Lullaby

"My mother was strong, in all the ways I was weak. She fell, she hurt, she felt. She lived. And for all the tumble of her experiences, she still had hope. Maybe this next time would do the trick. Or maybe not. But unless you stepped into the game, you will never know."
"The fate of your heart is your choice and no one else gets a vote"
"Are those the only options? Nothing or forever?"
"You know, when it works, love is amazing. It's not overrated."
"Maybe marriage, like life, isn't only about the big moments, whether they be good or bad. Maybe it's all the small things—like being guided slowly forward, surely, day after day—that stretches out to strengthen even the most tenuous bond."
