Cecelia Ahern
Most of all she loved that when she hugged him her head would rest neatly just below his chin, where she could feel his breath lightly blowing her hair and tickling her head.
Cecelia Ahern
I don't want to be one of those easily forgotten people, so important at the time, so special, so influential, and so treasured, yet years later just a vague face and a distant memory.
Cecelia Ahern
Truth is, something that I thought was perfect was taken away from me, and I never wanted perfect again. I wanted middle of the road, stuff I didn’t care about so that I couldn’t lose anything I really loved ever again.
Cecelia Ahern
That's the thing about lessons, you always learn them when you don't expect them or want them.
Cecelia Ahern
Why do we stop believing in ourselves? Why do we let facts and figures and anything but dreams rule our lives?
Cecelia Ahern
Oh, that fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
Cecelia Ahern
.. then when the hurt goes, anger takes its place when the anger runs out of system, loneliness steps in to take over. it's a never ending circle of emotions every lost emotion being replaced by another.
Cecelia Ahern
I never grew up thinking the goal in life was to be a millionaire. All the way through college, I had a part-time job. I worked hard to get the things that you need at that age.
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
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
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
Not like a heart, which let people in without permission, held them in a special place she never had any say in and then yearned for them to remain there longer than they planned.
Cecelia Ahern
That somehow dreams are a blurred line between here and there, like a meeting room in a prison. You’re both in the same room, yet on different sides and really, in different worlds.
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
Paths are so much clearer when people stop looking at what everyone else is doing and instead concentrate on themselves ~Gabe
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
I suppose it’s easier to see the way out of anything when you’ve found your way out of that maze. When you’re stuck in the middle, in a series of dead-ends making circles, it’s difficult to make any sense of anything.
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
But where pain was, healing could come where loneliness was, new relationships could be formed where rejection was, new love could be found. It was a moment. And moments changed. She would have to live through the moment to get to the next.
Cecelia Ahern
