More quotes by Cecelia Ahern
I was the life and she was the soul of every party.
Cecelia Ahern
How presumptuous they had both been never to consider growing old as an achievement and a challenge. Aging was something they'd both wanted so much to avoid.
Cecelia Ahern
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.

Holly's theory about the army, Sharon explained. And what is it? Denise asked, intrigued. Oh, that fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
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

Cecelia Ahern

Cecelia Ahern
Age is just a number, not a state of mind or a reason for any type of particular behaviour.
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
Life is everything, and you haven't lived it properly until you believe.
Cecelia Ahern
what you don't know, you don't miss
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
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
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.
Cecelia Ahern
...God leads you to it and takes you through it.
Cecelia Ahern
Their plan had been very simple: to stay together for the rest of their lives.
Cecelia Ahern
Everything in life has a place, and when one thing moves, it must go somewhere else.
