She was sad about what happened to Kostos. And someplace under that, she was sad that people like Bee and Kostos, who had lost everything, were still open to love, and she, who'd lost nothing, was not.

More quotes by Ann Brashares
Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday.
Ann Brashares
She thought she was independent and strong, but she got one small taste of love and she was hungrier than anyone. She was ravenous.
Ann Brashares
She realized all at once the deeper thing that bothered her, the thing that made him not just irritating but intolerable: how he kept loving her blindly when she deserved it so little.
Ann Brashares
Why does he have to be my boyfriend? Are you inferior if you don't have a boyfriend? Why does everybody have to be in love with somebody?
Ann Brashares
I love you, I'll never stop.
Ann Brashares
They were here all at once, but not together. Survival took self-absorption, and it made them strangers with nothing to do and no way to relate. Emergencies gave you a shape and a plot to take part in, while death was no story at all. It left you nothing.
Ann Brashares
You are not going to die, I know I said I'd let you, but I can't.
Ann Brashares
There are moments in your life when the big pieces slide and shift. Sometimes the big changes dong happen gradually but all at once. That's how it was for us. That was the day we discovered that friends can do things for you that your parents can't.
Ann Brashares
The phone was her worst enemy and her best friend but she never knew which until she answered it.
Ann Brashares
Love demands everything, they say, but my love demands only this: that no matter what happens or how long it takes, you`ll keep faith in me, you`ll remember who we are, and you`ll never feel despair.
Ann Brashares
I'm dying with you before I'm living without you.
Ann Brashares
She wasn’t sure if he wanted more from her or if he wanted less. Maybe it was both. Maybe it was always both.
Ann Brashares
Wish for what you want, work for what you need. -Carmen's grandmother
Ann Brashares
A lot of friendship is about practice, that’s something I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older. It’s not simply some spiritual soul-bond of memories and longings, it’s really about having coffee every week, or talking on the phone every day or every other day - whatever suits you.
Ann Brashares
There was a moment in between, a moment flung free in the midst of the transition, when he made contact. That was the moment she would dwell on.
Ann Brashares
You know what the secret is? It's so simple. We love one another. We're nice to one another. Do you know how rare that is? - Carmen
Ann Brashares
She knew whose love she doubted. It wasn't her parents' and it wasn't her friends: It was her own.
Ann Brashares
Pain is fear, and I'm not afraid.
Ann Brashares
Life isn't just fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all. -William Goldman
Ann Brashares
Healing wasn’t always the best thing. Sometimes a hole was better left open. Sometimes it healed too thick and too well and left separate pieces fused and incompetent. And it was harder to reopen after that.
