“Sometimes love isn’t forever. Sometimes it’s just moments in your life that teach you. If it’s the forever after kind of love, it’ll find you again. If it isn’t, don’t let a broken heart break you. Let it make you love harder. Love is a mistake worth making.”
― R.K. Ryals, Hawthorne & Heathcliff

“Rough rides are smoother when you’ve got a passenger who understands the road.”
― R.K. Ryals, Hawthorne & Heathcliff

“Love isn’t roses. It’s those little square caramels and a root beer from the gas station because he knows that’s your favorite snack. It’s watching a musical with you without groaning. It’s handing you your glasses at night because he knows you’re too blind to find your way to the bathroom without them. Love is awkward.”
― R.K. Ryals, The Story of Awkward

“Life is like a book. Some of the pages you want to rip out and others you want to keep. I’ve been ripping out a lot of pages lately, getting rid of the ugly stuff. The stuff that’s left behind isn’t as bad as I thought it was.”
― R.K. Ryals, Hawthorne & Heathcliff

“There’s this thing love stories always forget to mention. That love isn’t a constant thing. Sometimes it changes, other times it fades completely. Sometimes you have to fall in love twice to truly understand it.”
― R.K. Ryals, Hawthorne & Heathcliff

“Such a funny thing death is for mortals. You cry. You morn. You grieve. You get angry. But death is not always tragic, dear one. Sometimes death is the ultimate expression of love.”
― R.K. Ryals, Mark of the Mage

“People don’t die, we pass into memory. I’ll live through you, through your heart and your mind. That’s the wonderful thing about life. Our bodies die, but memory allows us to live in those we love.”
― R.K. Ryals, Hawthorne & Heathcliff

“I like running because it lets everything go. I like walking back because it reminds me why I ran in the first place.”
― R.K. Ryals, Hawthorne & Heathcliff

“Love could just be a moment, an amazing moment that could teach a person to breathe. It didn’t have to hold a person back.”
― R.K. Ryals, Hawthorne & Heathcliff

“It is how we perceive ourselves that matters. True courage isn’t about being brave. True beauty isn’t about being beautiful. True courage is about being real. True beauty is about being happy.”

“For I was sure of one thing, it wasn't always the hero who saved the world. It was the person most willing to die first.”
― R.K. Ryals, Fist of the Furor

― R.K. Ryals, Hawthorne & Heathcliff

“This world is built on awkwardness, on the idea that there is someplace where it’s okay to be different. Where it’s okay not to be perfect,â€� the troll said. “This world lives in more than one imagination. It was simply your hand that finally gave it a face.”
― R.K. Ryals, The Story of Awkward

“I’ve always believed that everything had a word to describe it, that anything could be written about, that there was nothing that couldn’t be said aloud. I was wrong. Some things have no words to describe them. Some things can’t be defined.”
― R.K. Ryals, Tempest

“You think my heart will be broken?â€� “I think your heart will learn. The heart can’t be broken if you don’t let it break. Let it, Hawthorne. People are so afraid of being broken that they don’t allow themselves to learn from the pain. The heart can’t be taught if you don’t give it something to learn.”
― R.K. Ryals, Hawthorne & Heathcliff

“Relationships are as much a work of art as a drawing. It takes time. It takes a lot of erasing, smudging, and redoing. In the end, it’s usually worth it. Sometimes, it’s not.”
― R.K. Ryals, The Story of Awkward

“What was better?â€� he asked. “The kiss or the fall?â€� He pulled to a stop in front of the house, and I smiled, my face averted. “Aren’t they the same thing?”
― R.K. Ryals, Hawthorne & Heathcliff

“If you are looking for a happy book about beautiful people, this is the wrong story. If you are looking for a narrative without emotion, without regrets, and without mistakes, this is definitely the wrong story. This is by no means an uncomplicated tale about uncomplicated people. It is by no means sweet or light. This story is ugly. This story is complicated. This story is emotional. This story is tragic. This story is about discovery. It is about hope. It is about one girl’s perception of reality. It is about me, a girl named Peregrine Storke. A girl thought to be named after a bird, but really I’m not. Peregrine means “travelerâ€� or “pilgrimâ€�. I’ve always liked that idea. That I was meant to go abroad. That I was meant to see great things. Instead, I am as awkward as my surname, Storke. It would be better if I were named after a bird. A bird with clipped wings.”
― R.K. Ryals, The Story of Awkward

“That awkward moment when you discover the guy you never wanted to know becomes the guy you want to understand.”

“I wasn't just tied to the beast, we were somehow part of the same person. The freakishly opposite sides of the same f*ing coin." Dayton in Redemption”

“That awkward moment when you realize love doesn’t always come full of sweet joy, but tainted with regret.â€� ~Peregrine Storke~”

“It hurts, the pain, but ask yourself this, is love worth destroying yourself over? You have an amazing amount of love in your life.â€� He gestured at us. “It’s enough. If Dash truly loves you, then it only makes your life fuller, but if he doesn’t, it doesn’t make your life less rich.”
― R.K. Ryals, The Story of Awkward

“There are no words big enough to describe grief. It’s an incredibly lonely, empty place, a large hole that swallows your soul and threatens to destroy it. It’s a dark place with no light that blinds you, deafens you, and crushes your spirit. It’s a place full of memories you’re afraid to lose.
I was in that place. No amount of tears washed away the loneliness. No amount of screams chased it away. There were simply memories, an avalanche of memories that I desperately needed to hold onto.
There was so much that death didn’t prepare me for. It didn’t prepare me for the storm that would break my will. ~Hawthorn”
