More quotes by Sarah Dessen, This Lullaby

"I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed."
"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."
"Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there."
"Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you."
"Holding people away from you, and denying yourself love, that doesn't make you strong. if anything, it makes you weaker. Because you're doing it out of fear."
