More quotes by Kristin Hannah
Of course you can fall in love. You just have to let yourself. They don't call it falling for nothing. -Kate
Kristin Hannah
No mother. Two small words, and yet within them lay a bottomless well of pain and loss, a ceaseless mourning for touches that were never received and words of wisdom that were never spoken. No single word was big enough to adequately describe the loss of your mother.
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.
Kristin Hannah
To those who are here, those who are gone, and those who are lost.
Kristin Hannah
It's not a date. I bought my own drink and I didn't shave my legs.
Kristin Hannah
...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
A daughter without her mother is a woman broken. It is a loss that turns to arthritis and settles deep into her bones.
Kristin Hannah
Hands down, the hardest part for me is coming up with an idea. I spend about 14 months writing a book, and that's a lot of hours spent thinking about a single project. I simply have to love the idea. I'll go through dozens of workable ideas until I find the one that lights my fire.
Kristin Hannah
She is like a child picking at a scab, unable to stop herself even though she knows it will hurt.
Kristin Hannah
Do you love him? How would I know? You'd know.
Kristin Hannah
Oh, Mia. You haven’t even begun to find out who you really are, and, believe me, other boys are going to fall in love with you. If a guy can’t see how special you are, he isn’t good enough for you.
Kristin Hannah
The at-home mother's life: it was a race with no finish line.
Kristin Hannah
Lately he'd been seen going out less and less, becoming that strangest of animals in a small town: a loner.
Kristin Hannah
It is a kiss that, once begun, never really ends. Interrupted, yes. Paused, certainly. But from that very moment onward, Vera sees the whole of her life as only a breath away from kissing him again. On that night in the park, they begin the delicate task of binding their souls together, creating a whole comprising their separate halves.
Kristin Hannah
Jude remembered this pain. Every woman had felt some version of it: the end of first love. It was when you learned, for good and always, that love could be impermanent.
Kristin Hannah
Nothing was easier to shatter than the fragile shield of an idealist.
Kristin Hannah
What I know now about life is this: your mother is a part of everything you do and everything you are.
Kristin Hannah
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.
Kristin Hannah
Popularity means people think they know you.
Kristin Hannah
Some stories don't have happy endings. Even love stories. Maybe especially love stories.
