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
Sighs and silences and avoided conversations are just as important as the things you do talk about.
Cecelia Ahern
Anyway, it doesn't matter how much, how often, or how closely you keep an eye on things because you can't control it. Sometimes things and people just go. Just like that.
Cecelia Ahern
People forget they have options. And they forget that those things don't really matter. They should concentrate on what they have and not what they don't have. And by the way, wishing and dreaming doesn't mean concentrating on what you don't have, it's positive thinking that encourages hoping and believing, not whinging and moaning.
Cecelia Ahern
Age is just a number, not a state of mind or a reason for any type of particular behaviour.
Cecelia Ahern
...God leads you to it and takes you through it.
Cecelia Ahern
I'm most happy when I am writing at night, because I need space and time to write.
Cecelia Ahern
All families have their secrets, most people would never know them, but they know there are spaces, gaps where the answers should be, where someone should have sat, where someone used to be. A name that is never uttered, or uttered just once and never again. We all have our secrets.

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
Hundreds of butts in piles on the ground to mark the spot, their lives sucked out of them by their users in panicked distressed frenzy, their souls floating around the insides of lungs while their outsides were dropped, stamped on and deserted
Cecelia Ahern
There's a fine line between love and hate.Love frees a soul and in the same breath can sometimes suffocate it.
Cecelia Ahern
I always pushed myself. Whenever I felt I needed to stop, I made myself run faster.
Cecelia Ahern
I used to think that it was better to have too much than too little, but now I think if the too much was never supposed to be yours, you should just take what is yours and give the rest back.
Cecelia Ahern
Have you ever not known something but known it at the same time?
Cecelia Ahern
If invisible people eat invisible food does invisible wind blow invisible trees?
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
I want a character to wake up one day and feel like, I can face it. That, to me, is happy. I want the characters to rescue themselves, though you use the relationships you have, to make you strong enough to be able to do that.
Cecelia Ahern
And that is how Goodwin problems were always fixed. Fix them on the surface but don't go to the root, always ignoring the elephant in the room. I think that morning was when I realized I'd grown up with an elephant in every room of my life. It was practically our family pet.
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
To mention it was to ask a favor and that as you were too generous, and as for her to ask was always to have, she wouldn't
