More quotes by Amy Bloom
It takes something to get married: nerve, hope, a strong desire to make a certain statement - and it takes something to stay married: more hope, determination, a sense of humor, and needs that are best met by being in a pair.
Amy Bloom
To hold happiness is to hold the understanding that the world passes away from us, that the petals fall and the beloved dies. No amount of mockery, no amount of fashionable scowling will keep any of us from knowing and savoring the pleasure of the sun on our faces or save us from the adult understanding that it cannot last forever.
Amy Bloom
You cannot fake effort talent is great, but perseverance is necessary.
Amy Bloom
Be real and unashamed. Even of your faults.
Amy Bloom

Amy Bloom
A blind man can see how much I love you

Amy Bloom
I am interested in the gaps between one piece of sidewalk and the next. I am interested in the things for which we dont always have a name, and the things that are not easy to articulate - the difference between what we think and how we feel.
Amy Bloom
they danced as though they'd been waiting all their lives for each song.
Amy Bloom
It is a wonderful, moving, heart-filling experience to sit with the man or woman you love and your beloved children and know that all are happy to be just where they are with each other and loving one another. This doesnt happen very often.
Amy Bloom
And sometimes we cling because the memory is so painful that we can't stop visiting it and hoping to make it come out differently. The risk of letting go is that we have to confront our own selves and our own possibilities.
Amy Bloom
Boundaries are the lines we draw that mark off our autonomy and that of other people, that protect our privacy and that of others. Boundaries allow for intimate connection without dissolving or losing one's sense of self.
Amy Bloom
Be real and be unashamed, even of your faults. I do truly know what my husband is made of and vice versa.
Amy Bloom
There is no such thing as a good writer and a bad liar.
Amy Bloom
Intimacy is being seen and known as the person you truly are.
