The weather turned. Her skin seemed to grow a million extra pores, and all of them opened to take in the warmth and tenderness of the air. The sun on her face made her want to cry. Into all those millions of open pores came the sunshine, and other feelings as well. In and out. She was porous.
Ann Brashares
A loving soul was always more beautiful over the long haul, but actual prettiness was fleeting.
Ann Brashares
I did the searching and remembering, she did the disappearing and the forgetting.

Carmen was bad at loving. She loved too hard.
Ann Brashares
She was alive, and they were dead. She had to try to make her life big. As big as she could. She promised Bailey she would keep playing.
Ann Brashares
Try, reach, want, and you may fall. But even if you do, you might be okay anyway. If you don't try, you save nothing, because you might as well be dead.
Ann Brashares
How many times could you give up on someone you loved?
Ann Brashares

Ann Brashares
Parents were the only ones obligated to love you from the rest of the world you had to earn it.
