That was the one thing she knew now. Some chances came and went, and if you missed them, you could spend the rest of your life standing alone, waiting for an opportunity that had already passed you by.

You look great, he said. It made her smile, even if it was a lie. I'm as big as a house. He laughed. I like houses. In fact, I'm thinking about architecture as a career.
Kristin Hannah
I always thought it was what I wanted: to be loved and admired. Now I think perhaps I'd like to be known.

Girls like you can't understand, Julia said, and it was true. Ellie had been popular. She didn't know that some hurts were like a once-broken bone. In the right weather, they could ache for a lifetime.
Kristin Hannah
This is the problem with forever friends. They know too much.
Kristin Hannah
Promises were a lot like impressions. The second one didn't count for much.

The hallmark of my books is the relationships that define women's lives.

...This fear was unbearable. It unwrapped who she was, as neatly as he'd unwound her bandage, leaving too much pain and ugliness exposed. Nerve endings he'd said they were the problem [causing phantom pain in the amputated limb]. Things that cut off, that ended abruptly or died--like parents and marriages--kept hurting forever.
Kristin Hannah
Popularity means people think they know you.
Kristin Hannah
I have often wished in the past few years that my mom were here to help me as I raised my own teenage son. As a girl, with my own mom, I thought I knew it all now I know better. Somewhere, I know my mom is smiling.

Finding your passion isn't just about careers and money. It's about finding your authentic self. The one you've buried beneath other people's needs.
Kristin Hannah
That was the thing about best friends. Like sisters and mothers, they could piss you off and make you cry and break your heart, but in the end, when the chips were down, they were there, making you laugh even in your darkest hours.
Kristin Hannah
I prefer to scare myself in the ordinary ways, Daddy. Like letting my children cross the country for college. Why bungee jump when you can put a kindergartener on a school bus? Now, that's real terror.
Kristin Hannah
He is a man, and he is afraid. This is not a good combination.
Kristin Hannah
I'm an insomniac lately. It's one of the many prizes you find in the Cracker Jack box of a crumbling [relationship].
Kristin Hannah
As mothers and daughters, we are connected with one another. My mother is the bones of my spine, keeping me straight and true. She is my blood, making sure it runs rich and strong. She is the beating of my heart. I cannot now imagine a life without her.
Kristin Hannah
It's not a date. I bought my own drink and I didn't shave my legs.
Kristin Hannah
Their friendship was more important than any relationship. Guys would come and go girlfriends were forever.
Kristin Hannah
She waited for you in a thousand different ways.
Kristin Hannah
To those who are here, those who are gone, and those who are lost.
Kristin Hannah
A romance novel focuses exclusively on two people falling in love. It can't be about a woman caring for her aging mother or something like that. It can have that element, but it has to be primarily about the male-female relationship.
