Romance Quote by Penelope Douglas — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I bite my bottom lip, trying not to cry. I never cry in front of them.”

“But I still have no idea what I want to do with my life.”

“I’ve wanted everything in my life to change for so long, and when it’s finally about to, my urge to escape slows down. I think that’s why people stay unhappy for so long, you know? Miserable or not, it’s easier to stick with what’s familiar.”

“The world isn’t always what’s right in front of you, you know? It’s below, it’s above, it’s out there somewhere. Every burn of every light inside every house I see when I look down from the rooftop has a story. Sometimes we just need to change our perspective.”

“I'm going to hell. I'm pretty sure she'd going to drag me there herself.”

“My eyes burn with tears, and I'm so tired. So tired of holding back everything I feel and want to say. So tired of being someone I'm not and making mistakes that I didn't have any fun making.”

“In our time together, you claimed a special place in my heart, one I'll carry with me forever and that no one can ever replace.”

“Thank you. What is it?”

“How much time do I get in exchange for that rose?”

“I know I am flaky, I accept that—and I know, as well, that I can mangle the good king’s English like no one else in my or the next ten governesses’ acquaintances, but that will not prevent me from speaking! I may not be as wise as you in the ways of the world, I may not have wounds that run as deeply or scars to wear upon my chest like medals of valor, but at least I don’t retreat and hide the moment a soul comes within reach of my fingers!”

“Liebe macht nicht blind. Der Liebende sieht nur weit mehr als da ist.”

“I do not want to date you.”
