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.

More quotes by Cecelia Ahern
I felt that my views and philosophies had been changed overnight. The philosophies that i had gladly carved in stone, recited and danced upon.
Cecelia Ahern
As the rain falls and the sun shines, they grow, grow, grow minds so open, they go through life aware and accepting, seeing light where there's dark, seeing possibility in dead ends, tasting victory as others spit out failure, questioning where others accept. Just a little less jaded, a little less cynical.
Cecelia Ahern
One must not speak of such things. One is still scarred from that experience.
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
well i think its quite obvious that if you're going to rely on something to carry your wishes, you might as well know where exactly it has come from and where it intends on going
Cecelia Ahern
what you don't know, you don't miss
Cecelia Ahern
I write my novels longhand. I love the feeling of writing I love to see pen on paper. It feels more creative than typing, and it's a more visual process for me - I can picture the entire scene in my head and am merely writing what I see.
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
If invisible people eat invisible food does invisible wind blow invisible trees?
Cecelia Ahern
are you saying that the feeling of searching for a missing sock is like searching for love ?
Cecelia Ahern
My box bedroom can only fit a bed and a wardrobe but it was my whole world. My only personal space to think and dream, to cry and laugh and wait until I became old enough to do all the things I wasn't allowed to do.
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
To new beginnings. To the pursuit of...somethingness.
Cecelia Ahern
Nobody's life is filled with perfect little moments. And if it were, they wouldn't be perfect little moments. They would just be normal. How would you ever know happiness if you never experience downs?
Cecelia Ahern
Always a chancer, always lucky, he'd fall into a river and come out dry, with fish in his pockets.
Cecelia Ahern
Now let me teach you another thing about my daughter. I love her very much but she has the ability to hide as expertly as a sock in a washing machine. No one knows where it goes, just as no one knows where she goes, but at least when she decides to come back, we're all here, waiting for her.
Cecelia Ahern
Aim for what u want and the year will all make a sense.
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
Slow down. Stop trying to do everything now, now, now. Hold up the people behind you for all you care, feel them kicking at your heels but maintain your pace. Don't let anybody dictate your speed.
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.
