More quotes by Ann Brashares
How many times could you give up on someone you loved?
Ann Brashares
Tibby's wish would be to hold on to the idea of love even in the face of darkest doubt. Because that was the way in which she failed. Not once, but again and again.

Show me a girl with her feet planted firmly on the ground and I'll show you a girl who can't put her pants on. -Annik Marchand
Ann Brashares
You surround yourself with your pain or you avoid it and let it find you when you are trying to do other things

The rules took a while to sort out. Lena and Carmen wanted to focus on friendship-type rules, stuff about keeping in touch with one another over the summer, and making sure the Pants kept moving from one girl to the next.

Sometimes you couldn’t face the sadness of being forgotten until you felt the comfort of being remembered again.
Ann Brashares

Ann Brashares
You should find him because he loves you.
Ann Brashares
I love her. I need her. I gave away everything I had for her. I just wanted her to know me.
Ann Brashares
I always interpret coincidences as little clues to our destiny
Ann Brashares
I love the idea of fictional worlds kind of all cohering in some way.
Ann Brashares
She wanted him to see all of her and also none of her. She wanted him to be dazzled by the bits and blinded by the whole. She wanted him to see her whole and not in pieces. She had hopes that were hard to satisfy.
Ann Brashares
Some things have to be believed to be seen. -Ralph Hodgson
Ann Brashares
you remember what is lost, and you forget what's right in front of you.
Ann Brashares
Different people were good at different things, Lena mused. Lena was good at writing thank-you notes, for instance, and Effie was good at being happy.
Ann Brashares
Relief is a short-lived emotion, passive and thin. The agony of doubt disappears, leaving little memory of how it really felt. Life aligns behind the new truth.
Ann Brashares
I'm not going anywhere without you. We're swimming to China together. And if the worst happens, I'm dying with you before I'm living without you.
