Author of quotes: Colleen Hoover

I wonder which upbringing is still more destructive - when a person is surrounded with love from childhood and until the last moment he does not realize how cruel the world is, and then simply does not have time to develop the skills necessary for survival, or when a person grows up in such a family, the most nightmarish one possible, where is he taught to survive?

When you meet someone who suits you, he does not awaken an inferiority complex in you, picking at your shortcomings. He inspires you because he focuses on your best sides.

Advice is good only to increase the self-esteem of the person who gives it.

A person cannot confidently state what he would do or how he would feel in a situation that he has never been in.

No matter how much you love, the power of love is meaningless if it outweighs the ability to forgive.

The only word that is misspelled is "perfection". What an irony.

Apologies are needed to express remorse, but they do not stop the bitter truth from being the truth.

The fullness of life that she is now experiencing only emphasized my emptiness.

Avoid is a seemingly harmless verb, but that word alone can cause serious damage to a relationship.

The good thing about sins is that they don't have to be expiated instantly.

I was good at talking nonsense. That is why I became a writer.

A writer cannot write about himself unless he is ready to cut off every layer of protection between the book and his own soul. Words must come straight from the womb, break through flesh and blood. Ugly, honest, bloody and a little creepy, but completely sincere. An autobiography that encourages the reader to feel sympathy for the author is not a true autobiography. Nobody is cute from the inside out. After reading the autobiography, the author should have, at best, hostility.

It must be easy to get confused when falling in love with a writer's words before meeting the writer in person. Some people find it difficult to separate a character from the person who created it.

Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill with a laxative at the same time.
