Quotes From "Fixing Delilah" By Sarah Ockler

1
In your entire life, you can probably count your true friends on one hand. Maybe even on one finger. Those are the friends you need to cherish, and I wouldn't trade one of them for a hundred of the other kind. I'd rather be completely alone than with a bunch of people who aren't real. People who are just passing time. Sarah Ockler
2
I was, but then I realized that I was holding on to something that didn't exist anymore. That the person I missed didn't exist anymore. People change. The things we like and dislike change. And we can wish they couldn't all day long but that never works. Sarah Ockler

Your life will. Get better in. Six. Point four. Million. Miles. Sarah Ockler
4

5
The only thing that's ours to accept is the fact that we don't always get to know the answers. Sarah Ockler
