I love that blurry place where life’s transitions are made without you even knowing it.

Ann Brashares
There are going to be moments of deep, deep doubts, and you have to have faith that your initial idea was good and just muddle through.
Ann Brashares
I always interpret coincidences as little clues to our destiny
Ann Brashares
You should find him because he loves you.
Ann Brashares
She was still waiting for him to come back to her, even though he wasn't going to. She was still holding out for something that wasn't going to happen. She was good at waiting. That seemed like a sad thing to be good at.
Ann Brashares
I'm afraid of time... I mean, I'm afraid of not having enough time. Not enough time to understand people, how they really are, or to be understood myself. I'm afraid of the quick judgements or mistakes everybody makes. You can't fix them without time. I'm afraid of seeing snapshots, not movies.
Ann Brashares
How is it that a person could be so relieved and so disappointed, both at the same time.
Ann Brashares
I love you, I'll never stop.
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.
