I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glroy
And I'm hanging on a moment of you
-"Edge of Glory" by Lady Gaga

No words
My tears won't make any room for them, oh
And it don't hurt
Like anything I've ever felt before
This is no broken heart
No familiar scars
This territory's uncharted
... Follow if you want
I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go
I'm already out of fool proof ideas
So don't ask me how to get started
It's all uncharted ...
I won't go as a passenger, no
Waiting for the road to be laid
Though I may be going down
I'll take in flame over burning out
-"Uncharted" by Sara Bareilles

I've been a lot of places all around the way
I've seen a lot of joy, and I've seen a lot of pain
But I don't wanna write a love song for the world
I just wanna write a song about a boy and a girl ...
I know when the stars are aligned you can
Bump into a person in the middle of the road
Look into their eyes and you suddenly know
-"Say Hey (I Love You)" by Michael Franti

"'But seriously, how do you get over the jitters?' Dad was still smiling but I could tell he had turned serious because he slowed his speech. 'You don't. You just work through it. You just hang in there.'"
-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman

"I thought that getting to this part was the challenge. In books and movies, the stories always end when two people finally have their romantic kiss. The happily-ever-after part is just assumed."
-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman


"She's running the show. Maybe she's just biding her tie. So you talk to her. You tell her to take all the time she needs, but to come on back. You're waiting for her."
-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman

"Guys who'd never given me a second glance did a double take. And every time that happened, I felt a little bit more like the risky sexy chick I was pretending to be. Fake it till you make it actually worked."
-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman

"Mom was so ferociously protective of people she loved, so much that she took insults upon them personally."

-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman

"I'd played that part of my life out It was time. I didn't even think twice about it ... Sometimes you make choice in life and sometimes the choices make you."

-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman

"I never expected to fall in love. I was never the kind of girl who had crushes on rock stars or fantasies about marrying Brad Pitt. I sort of vaguely knew that one day I'd have a boyfriend (in college, if Kim's prediction was anything to go by) and get married. I wasn't totally immune to the charms of the opposite sex, but I wasn't one of those romantic, swoony girls who had pink fluffy day day dreams about falling in love. Even as I was falling in love -- full throttle, intense, can't-erase-that-goofy-smile-love -- I didn't really register what was happening."

-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman

"It wasn't even a fight, really. We didn't shout. We barely even argued, but a snake of tension quietly slithered into our lives."
-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman

"I hadn't really expected much to change. He'd still live nearby. We'd still see each other all the time. I'd miss our little powwows in the music wing, but I would also be relieved to have our relationship out from under the microscope of high school."
-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman

"'I remember last year when Adam came over for Christmas Eve, I'd told your father that you'd fallen in love too soon.' 'I know, I know. What does a dumb kid know about love?' Mom stopped drying a skillet. 'That's not what I meant. The opposite, really. You and Adam never struck me as a 'high-school' relationship,' Mom said, making quote marks with her hands. ... 'You guys seemed, still seem, in love, truly, deeply.' She sighed. 'But seventeen is an inconvenient time to be in love.'"
-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman

"Remembering Adam would be like losing him all over again, and I'm not sure I can bear that on top of everything else."
-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman

"I have a feeling that once you live through something like this, you become a little bit invincible."
-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman

"Suddenly I just need to hold his hand more than I've ever needed anything in this world. Not just be held by it, but hold it back."
-from If I Stay by Gayle Forman

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
