The Blair that you’re in love with isn’t the real Blair. It’s the one you’ve created in your book. And she’s always loved Chuck.

Once you start thinking about the lies people tell when they don’t know they’re telling them, the truths people reveal when they think they’re lying, then you can start to build a world.

Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you.
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

We all like to think that we’re in the driver’s seat of our own lives. But the truth is, the idea that we can control our fate is an illusion. You can choose the most loyal friends, the dream job, the truest love. But at the end of the day, our fate is decided for us. All we can do is hope we have the strength to cope with the hand she deals us.
