More quotes by 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
She strived for perfection. She loved setting herself tasks, sometimes impossible ones, to prove to her heart that underneath every seemingly ugly thing there was something beautiful inside.
Cecelia Ahern
are you saying that the feeling of searching for a missing sock is like searching for love ?

People tell stories and it's up to those who listen whether to believe or not. Shouldn't the storyteller believe it. The storyteller should tell it.
Cecelia Ahern
Every single ordinary person has an extraordinary story.
Cecelia Ahern

Cecelia Ahern
I don't know why, but there's always the part of you, the part that hides in the shadows protecting the self-destruct button, that doesn't ever want to leave the dark behind.
Cecelia Ahern
Tonight I'm happy. I will worry about tomorrow when tomorrow comes. But I'm getting there.
Cecelia Ahern
That's the thing about lessons, you always learn them when you don't expect them or want them.
Cecelia Ahern
It's not about finding Mr Right, or that sort of conventional ending, but I do want my characters to have hope - and that's what I do with all my stories.
Cecelia Ahern
Time cant be given. But it can be shared.
Cecelia Ahern
You can run and run as fast and as far as you like, but the truth is, wherever you run, there you are.
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
Why do we stop believing in ourselves? Why do we let facts and figures and anything but dreams rule our lives?
Cecelia Ahern
Dreams should make you think, ‘If I had the guts to do it and I didn’t care what anybody thought, this I what I’d really do’.
Cecelia Ahern
Don't ever take for granted when people look in your eyes you have no idea how important it is to be acknowledged. Even if it's an angry stare, because it's when they ignore you, when they look right through you, that you should start worrying.
Cecelia Ahern
One must not speak of such things. One is still scarred from that experience.
