Favorite Saving Hope Quotes
Basic human contact is bigger than any idea. It takes you outside yourself. It's more comforting than words. Without it, we'd die. Sometimes, it's not enough. And sometimes it's enough for now. Contact grounds you. It brings you back.

To be seen. It's all we want. From the moment we take our first steps. 'Look at me, Mom. Look at me, Dad.' Tell me I'm going to be okay. Tell me that someone cares about me. Tell me that we're in this together. And that you're going to get me through.

Gavin: There's always a boy that likes you, and there's always a boy that you like. And they're never the same guy. You wouldn't know what to do with somebody who actually liked you back.
Kendra: Charlie, I am not a neurologist. I don't know how coma's work, but I do know how the human mind works. This is your mind's home turf.

Dana
Charlie: Kendra, I appreciate your trying to help but that whole unresolved thing is usually reserved for the dead and not the living.
