Ann Brashares
You could feel things or you could find a way to shut down. But once you were feeling things, you couldn’t decide exactly what to feel. That was the trouble with letting them in at all. They made a mess of the place.

I was supposed to write a romantic comedy, but my characters broke up.
Ann Brashares
She must have sensed she never really had him. That was a sadness of hers, he knew.

The most haunting thing was not that he didn't love her anymore. She could have accepted that eventually. The most haunting thing was that he did. He loved her from afar. He loved her in a way that was preserved in time, that couldn't be sullied. And she tended it in her careful, curatorial way.

I do believe that characters in novels belong to their writers and their readers pretty equally. I've learned a lot of things about the characters I write from people who read about them. Readers expand them in ways I don't think of and take them to places I can't go.
Ann Brashares
She loved her mother and depended on her mother, and yet every single word her mother said annoyed her.
Ann Brashares
Marnie hated to see her spend so much of herself on someone who didn't care.
Ann Brashares
Age is not so much a feature of your character, as the spot where you stand for a pretty fleeting time on the arc of your life.
Ann Brashares
Grief was like a newborn, and the first three months were hard as hell, but by six months you'd recognized defeat, shifted your life around, and made room for it.
Ann Brashares
When you feel someone else's pain and joy as powerfully as if it were your own, then you know you really loved them.
Ann Brashares
Love didn't necessarily look the way you expected it to.
Ann Brashares
She spilled rice on my knee, and she smiled. I wanted her to spill a thousand things on me, lava, acid, bricks, anything, and smile each time
Ann Brashares
Love is like war easy to begin, hard to end.
Ann Brashares
She felt like parts of her soul were missing, had left her body long ago. It had happened not in Greece three months ago, but long before that. It was in Greece that she'd realized those parts had left her and were not coming back.

Bridget's anger evaporated and the sadness came back. The anger was easier. She owned and contolled it, whereas the sadness owned her.
