In Five Years Quotes

  • I wouldn’t say I’m a romantic, exactly. But I believe in romance, which is to say, I believe in calling to inquire about a date instead of texting, and flowers after sex, and Frank Sinatra at an engagement. And New York City in December.Quote from In Five Years book by Rebecca Serle

  • They say that languages come better to people who are right-brained, but I’m not so sure. I think you need a certain looseness, a certain fluidity, to speak another language.

  • I love the order of deal making, the clarity of language – how there is little room for interpretation and none for error. I love the black-and-white terms. […] Apocalyptic scenarios, disagreements, and details that threaten to topple it all. It seems impossible we’ll ever get both parties on the same page, but somehow we do. Somehow, contracts get agreed upon and signed. Somehow, deals get done. And when it finally happens, it’s exhilarating. Better than any day in court. It’s written. Binding. Anyone can bend a judge’s or jury’s will with bravado, but to do it on paper – in black and white – that takes a particular kind of artistry. It’s truth in poetry.Quote from In Five Years book by Rebecca Serle
  • I need the morning. There’s something about being the first one awake that feels precious, rare. I feel accomplished before I’ve even had my first cup of coffee. The whole day is better.Quote from In Five Years book by Rebecca Serle

  • Here is the thing no one tells you about cancer: they ease you into it. After the initial shock, after the diagnosis and the terror, they put you on the slow conveyor belt. They start you off nice and easy. You want some lemon water with that chemo? You got it. Radiation? No problem, everyone does it, it’s practically weed. We’ll serve you those chemicals with a smile. You’ll love them, you’ll see.Quote from In Five Years book by Rebecca Serle

  • I think that maybe that is what love is. Not the absence of space but the acknowledgment of it, the thing that lives between the parts, the thing that makes it possible not to be one, but to be different, to be two.Quote from In Five Years book by Rebecca Serle
  • This is what marriage is, I know. Tiffs and comfortability, miscommunications and long stretches of silence. Years and years of support and care and imperfection.Quote from In Five Years book by Rebecca Serle
  • You mistake love. You think it has to have a future in order to matter, but it doesn’t. It’s the only thing that does not need to become at all. It matters only insofar as it exists. Here. Now.Quote from In Five Years book by Rebecca Serle
  • Hang in there. I know the road isn’t easy, but stay the course.Quote from In Five Years book by Rebecca Serle
