The more you try to simplify things the more you complicate them. You create rules, build walls, push people away, lie to yourself and ignore true feelings. That is not simplifying things.

More quotes by Cecelia Ahern
Memories were fine but you couldn't touch them, smell them or hold them. They were never exactly as the moment was, and they faded with time.
Cecelia Ahern
Age is just a number, not a state of mind or a reason for any type of particular behaviour.
Cecelia Ahern
But even in her laughter there was something missing. She never seemed to be truly happy she just seemed to be passing time while she waited for something else. She was tired of just existing she wanted to live.
Cecelia Ahern
What seems tragic now won't even be an issue in a few years time.
Cecelia Ahern
Some people say that you shouldn't operate from a place of fear but if there is no fear, how is there a challenge?
Cecelia Ahern
Two lost things that had survived the seas and arrived on a coastline. What did they do? They implanted themselves in the sand and grew into trees and lined the beaches. Sometimes a lot can come of being all washed up. You can really grow.
Cecelia Ahern
Yes it's difficult. Yes it's horrible. Yes it's the worst thing that has ever happen in my whole life. But I just can't give up.
Cecelia Ahern
It's funny how people mark their lives, the benchmarks they choose to decide when the moment is more of a moment than any other. For life is made of them. I like to think the best ones of all are in my mind, that they run through my blood in their own memory bank for no one else but me to see.
Cecelia Ahern
The important thing is not what we look like, but the role we play in our best friend’s life. Friends choose certain friends because that’s the kind of company they are looking for at that specific time, not because they’re the correct height, age, or have the right hair color
Cecelia Ahern
Time cant be given. But it can be shared.
Cecelia Ahern
Any tightrope walker can walk in a straight line and hold a cane at the same time. It's the balancing on the rope at those dizzying heights that they have to practise
Cecelia Ahern
Nobody can pretend to know what people want to read or hear or see. People rarely know it themselves they only know it after the fact.
Cecelia Ahern
It's like my garden, love. Everything grows. Including love. And with that growing everyday how can you expect missing her to ever fade away? Everything builds, including our ability to cope with it. That's how we keep going.
Cecelia Ahern
Journalism classes teach us that one must extract oneself from the story in order to report without bias, but often we need to be in the story in order to understand, to connect, to help the audience identify or else it has no heart it could be a robot telling the story, for all anyone cares.
Cecelia Ahern
Sighs and silences and avoided conversations are just as important as the things you do talk about.
Cecelia Ahern
Everything in life has a place, and when one thing moves, it must go somewhere else.
Cecelia Ahern
I guess when you’re trying to find all the parts of yourself, it’s difficult to be with someone who’s already fully intact.
Cecelia Ahern
Perhaps I’ve been rushing my whole entire life, jumping into things headfirst without thinking them through. Running through the days without noticing the minutes.
Cecelia Ahern
I'm trying to make some sense out of the phrase Everything happens for a reason, and I think I've figured out what the reason is - to pissed me off.
Cecelia Ahern
oh well, is it hurting anyone? Because if its not and you’ve been given it, I’d as soon stop calling it a thing and start referring to it as a gift.
