Quotes

"They kiss, and kiss again. When they do finally pull apart, it's with a new knowledge. They have a sense that the lenght of a day is mutable, and you can never see the end from the beggining. They have a sense that love changes all things all the time. 

That's what love is for."

The Sun in Also a Star, Nicola Yoon, p.334

"Meeting your obligations is the definition of adulthood, kid. If you're going to make mistakes and break promises, now's the time."

The Sun in Also a Star, Nicola Yoon, p.241

"There's a Japanese phase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn't mean love at first sight. It's closer to love at second sight. It's the feeling when you meet someone that you're going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don't love them right away, but it's inevitable that you will."

In love, it's the amount of time it takes for lovers to feel half of what they once did.

When Natasha thinks about love, this is what she thinks: nothing lasts forever. Like hydrogen-7 or lithium-5 or boron-7, love has an infinitesimally small half-life that decays to nothing. And when it's gone, it's like it was never there at all."
