More quotes by Ann Brashares
The happiness at getting what you want is not usually commensurate with the worry leading up to it.
Ann Brashares
But I know this. We're ready to move forward again in our way. Together or apart, no matter how far apart, we live in one another. We go on together.
Ann Brashares
Honesty was a tough customer... Once you started allowing yourself some honesty, it couldn't easily be contained or limited to one part of your life. It was like poison ivy or a bossy houseguest. Once it was there, you couldn't tell it what to do. You had to really fight to keep it from taking over.
Ann Brashares
She must have sensed she never really had him. That was a sadness of hers, he knew.
Ann Brashares
She went around with a broken heart, and she wasn't sure who'd broken it. She thought it was herself, mostly.
Ann Brashares
When she is happy, she can't stop talking, when she is sad she doesn't say a word.

We aren't in high school. We aren't really in our families and we aren't in our houses. Those are the places we grew up and the times we spent together, but they aren't us. If think they are, then we're lost, because times end and places are lost. We aren't any place or any time . . . We are everywhere.
Ann Brashares
People left a lot of things behind when they went in the water. Their clothes, their stuff, their makeup, their fixed-up hair, their voices, their hearing, their sight—at least as the normally experienced them.
Ann Brashares
When there is nothing, there is the possibility of everything.
Ann Brashares
Maybe there is more truth in how you feel than in what actually happens.
Ann Brashares
Everyone is fragile. Everything beautiful is fragile
Ann Brashares
When you remembered to forget, you were remembering. It was when you forgot to forget that you forgot.
Ann Brashares
He no longer represented someday a possibility. He represented a road not taken a road that suddenly shot so far into the distance she couldn’t see it anymore.
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
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
You'll turn out ordinary if you're not careful.
Ann Brashares
I look back on my 20s. It's supposed to be the prime of your life, the most vital, the most beautiful. But you're making your critical decisions and sometimes your most critical mistakes.
Ann Brashares
There are some people who fall in love over and over.
Ann Brashares
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.
Ann Brashares
There were those emotions down there, and though she couldn't quite feel them, they were strong and she feared them. It was like watching a thunderhead from high up in a plane, and though you weren't under it, you knew how it would feel if you were. You knew you'd have to land eventually.
