"How long will I live my life afraid of what-ifs?" 

----------------------

"If this year has taught me anything, it's that grief can destroy a person." 

----------------------

"If I'm going to die, I'd like to actually live first." 

----------------------

"Everyone in this world is breathing borrowed air." 

----------------------

"I'm tired of living without really living. I'm tired of wanting things. We can't have a lot of things. But we could have this."

----------------------

"I'm not going far. I'll always be here. Just an inch away. I promise."

----------------------

"...I want to be fearless and free. It's just life, Will. It'II be over before we know it." 

----------------------

"Don't think about what you've lost. Think of how much you have to gain."

----------------------

"I don't want to leave you, but I love you too much to stay."

----------------------

"I know in that moment, even though it could not be more ridiculous, that if I die in there, I won't die without falling in love."
