Poetry Quote by Colleen Hoover — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You don’t put pressure on me to be something I’m incapable of being. You accept me exactly how I am.”

“You wanted to lick my face the first time you saw me? Is that usually what you do when you’re attracted to guys?”

“I'm serious. You've been doing so much thinking with your head that you're ignoring your heart completely. There has to be a balance. The fact that both of you are letting other things consume you is about to ruin any chance you'll ever have at being happy.”

“Nothing is permanent. The only thing any of us have in common is the inevitable.”

“When life gets you down do you wanna know what you’ve gotta do? . . . Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.”

“Someone asked them a question about their poetry, and whether it was hard having to relive their words each time they performed. Their reply was that although they had moved beyond that--from the person or event that inspired their words at that point in time--it doesn't mean someone listening to them wasn't in that. So? So what if heartache you wrote last year isn't what you're feeling today. It may be exactly what the person in the front row is feeling. What you're feeling now, and the person you may reach with your words five years from now--that's why you write poetry.”

“The fury of confession, at first,”

“that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith”

“WINTER'S GHOST:”

“At five in the afternoon.”

“If you come as softly”

“the goal is not to heal”
