Quotes from The V Girl

“ You usually can’t recall all the people you’ve shared laughs with. But you rarely forget the people you’ve shared your tears with. ”
― Mya Robarts, quote from The V Girl

“The human touch is that little snippet of physical affection that brings a bit of comfort, support, and kindness. It doesn’t take much from the one who gives it, but can make a huge difference in the one who receives it.”
― Mya Robarts, quote from The V Girl

“Real love ought to be more like a tree and less like a flower. That's the kind of love my parents had. Not so consuming and more everlasting. And you see that tree over there? Now it's only showing green leaves, but during the spring it's covered in flowers. Because as reliable as trees are, they can also speak of beauty and passion.”
― Mya Robarts, quote from The V Girl

“Most girls prefer flowers over trees.' I brush my fingers on the petals." These orange flowers blossom quickly. Thay speak of passion. Of beauty." I take a witheting flower that had dropped to the ground and worry it between my fingers. "But they don't last; they wither so easily. Flowers have limited growth. A tree might not speak of passion but sturdiness. Yet it grows higher and lasts more. Some of these trees have been here before I was born and they'll be here once I'm gone.”
― Mya Robarts, quote from The V Girl

“I'm a woman, Aleksey. I'm not the simplistic, flawless creature the world expects me to be. I'm imperfect, I'm multidimensional. I make mistakes all the time and I'll make even more as life challenges me. And I don't want to be afraid of messing things up. Firstly because I'll learn from my mistakes, but more importantly, they're what make me human.”
― Mya Robarts, quote from The V Girl

“If as we see nightfall,
we become capable of accepting love,
let’s celebrate an alliance with our unbroken delusions.
Who ever knew we would say goodbye to oblivion?
Who ever knew we would accept hope?”
― Mya Robarts, quote from The V Girl

“When someone has gifted you with one act of love after another, it’s only fair to ignore their bad moods and concentrate exclusively in the many things they’ve done for you. Acts and feelings should always prevail over moods and words.”
― Mya Robarts, quote from The V Girl

“Among the fluctuation of the river currents, an abyss as green as the sea, its extension and profundity as immense as the ocean opened before me: the eyes of a beautiful girl.
I succumbed into that abyss instantly, like a man who falls from the highest cliff into the ocean …
… and I drowned.”
― Mya Robarts, quote from The V Girl

Olmo grinned and regarded Aleksey with admiring eyes. “Cool!” Olmo showed me the note later. Only four words: I don’t want to.”

Who ever knew we would say goodbye to oblivion? Who ever knew we would accept hope?”

"Territories," corrects Dad.
