Цитаты из книги Rock Paper Scissors

A person can become immune to beauty when exposed to it too often.

She knew that the characters I loved in books, films and TV shows, filled the gaps left by absent family and non-existent friends when I was a child.

The best lessons are often the ones we don't realise we're being taught.

I've heard people describe marriage as two missing pieces of a puzzle coming together, and discovering that they are a perfect fit. But that's just wrong. People are different and that's a good thing. Two pieces of different puzzles cannot and will not fit together unless one has been forced to bend or break or change to fit around the other.

If you don't have anyone to love or be loved by as a child then how do you learn?

But then, isn't love like breathing? Isn't it instinct? Something we're born knowing how to do? Or is love like speaking French? If nobody teaches you, you'll never be fluent, and if you don't practise you forget how...

The world can seem less frightening when you don't have to face it alone.

The snow has turned to sleet. Large, angry droplets pelt the windows before crying down the glass like tears.

I wish people were more like books.

If you realise halfway through a novel that you aren't enjoying it anymore, you can just stop and find something new to read. Same with films and TV dramas. There is no judgement, no guilt, nobody even needs to know unless you choose to tell them. But with people, you tend to have to see it through to the end, and sadly not everyone gets to live happily ever after.

If every story had a happy ending then we'd have no reason to start again. Life is all about choices, and learning how to put ourselves back together when we fall apart.
