Quotes from Sweet Home

“Hey Mol.
Hey You.
You gonna give up that lucky sweet kiss?
If that's what you want.
It most definitely is.”
― Tillie Cole, quote from Sweet Home

“A home is not a place. It’s not a country or a town or a building or possession. Home is with the other half of your soul, the person who shares in your grief and helps you carry the burden of loss. Home is with the person who throughout it all never gives up on you and brings you eternal happiness.”
― Tillie Cole, quote from Sweet Home

He exhaled a quiet laugh. "Just thought God took one of mine when he made you.”
― Tillie Cole, quote from Sweet Home

Popular quotes

“It’s popcorn,” I tell her slowly. I have no idea where she got the whole cockporn thing, but that is definitely not something I want her saying in public, or ever, for that matter. I can just see us going to a movie and her yelling, ‘I want COCKPORN!’ at the top of her lungs in the middle of a packed theater.

“I know, cockporn.” She nods, licking her palm again.

“No, Angel. POP-corn,” I tell her, pronouncing each syllable.

“COCK-porn,” she says slowly back, like I’m deaf, and then places her hands on her hips.

“Oh, geez,” I mutter, giving up, looking at Lilly, who is fighting laughter, and ask her, “Do you have a bag for this?” while holding my hand upside down, showing the ball is stuck to my palm and now looks like a penis and balls.”
― Aurora Rose Reynolds, quote from Until Jax

“What if everyone hates me and no one talks to me? What if someone throws something at me?” Aiden snorted, setting the shirt he’d been holding aside and picking up the next one on the pile. “What are they going to throw? Bookmarks?”

Because sisters' secrets are swords.”
