More quotes by Kristin Hannah
And maybe that was how it was supposed to be...Joy and sadness were part of the package the trick, perhaps,was to let yourself feel all of it, but to hold on to the joy just a little more tightly.
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
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
Whenever I write about motherhood - and I write about it a lot - I am drawing on my experiences as a mother and also my experiences as a daughter.
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
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.

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.

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
To those who are here, those who are gone, and those who are lost.
Kristin Hannah
Then he left her there, standing alone, surrounded by word ghosts things she could have said.
Kristin Hannah
The measure of a society is its compassion.
Kristin Hannah
It's not intentions that matter. It's actions. We are what we do and say, not what we intend to.
Kristin Hannah
Popularity means people think they know you.
Kristin Hannah
Time goes too quickly. This is the advice that my mother should have given me from her hospital bed. Instead of vague, unknowable quips like Be careful what you wish for, she should have told me time slides away on a hillside of loose shale and takes everything in its path - dreams, opportunities, hopes. And youth. It takes that fastest of all
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
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
Their friendship was more important than any relationship. Guys would come and go girlfriends were forever.
Kristin Hannah
Memories are who we are. In the end, that's all the luggage you take with you. Love and Memories are what last.
Kristin Hannah
Nothing was easier to shatter than the fragile shield of an idealist.
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.
