Iain Thomas Quotes

“You forget that, in the dark, we must move closer together in order to see each other. You were never alone.”

“Love doesn’t hate back.”

“Love, at every opportunity you are given to love. Be less afraid. Embrace each day (none are promised). Cry when you need to, it’ll make you feel better. You were put on this planet to feel every feeling you could, do that. Everything works out in the end. I promise.”

“You weren’t mine to begin with.”

“I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn’t get it. They may think they get it, but they don’t. This is the sign you’ve been looking for. You were meant to read these words.”

“Dancing is sometimes more important than listening to the music.”

“All the space without you in it, is empty.”

“Know someone as much as you can. Hold onto the moments that define them. Then when their body leaves, they won’t.”

“The words, ‘I love you’ become nothing but noise. But that’s why we kiss. To say with our lips what we couldn’t before.”

“I’m sure people just kiss each other. I’m sure that sometimes you’re talking and somehow two people move closer and closer to each other and then, they just kiss. I’m sure it happens all the time. But I’m also sure that a kiss is never just a kiss.”

“Of course it’s complicated. If it wasn’t, I probably wouldn’t be interested in you.”

“Let’s play hopscotch in malls. Let’s drive fast with the top down. Let’s turn up the music as loud as it’ll go. Let’s put a couch on an island in the middle of the freeway and wave at everyone on their way to work. Let’s hug strangers in parking lots. Let’s hand out secret messages at traffic lights. Let’s make lists of all the things that make us smile and tick them off, one at a time. The world will carry on without you and me when we’re gone. Let it carry on without us, today.”

“Forget about your lists and do what you can because that’s all you can do. Phone up the people you miss and tell them you love them.”

“Hug those close to you as hard as you can. Because you are always only a drunk driver’s stupidity, a nervous shopkeeper’s mistake, a doctor’s best attempts and an old age away from forever.”

“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.”

“People that make you laugh are more beautiful than beautiful people.”

“You are the best parts of all the songs I love.”

“You can be in love and you can be in a relationship. But they’re not always the same thing.”

“The most embarrassing, awkward moments of your life are only remembered by you and no one else”

“But really, all we want, and I speak for the entire human race here, is contact. Someone to let us know that we aren’t alone. That the world isn’t a dream and you and I really are happening at the same time, even if it’s not in the same place. That this is real. You’re really there. I’m really here. We’re real. This is real.”
