More quotes by Kristin Hannah
She used to tell me that she couldn't feel the sunlight anymore, not even when she was standing in it, not even when it was hot on her cheeks
Kristin Hannah
Nina knew the power of black and white images. Sometimes a thing was its truest self when the colors were stripped away.
Kristin Hannah
but sometimes one person can hold you up in life, keep you standing, and without that hand to hold, you can find yourself free-falling no matter how strong you used to be, no matter how hard you try to remain steady.
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
She waited for you in a thousand different ways.
Kristin Hannah
She had been ready to love this man from the moment she first saw him. In all these years, that had never changed.

She needed him now, needed him to remind her that she was live, that she wasn't alone, that she hadn't lost everything.
Kristin Hannah

Kristin Hannah
Marriages go through hard times. Sometimes you have to get in there and fight for your love. That's the only way for it to get better.
Kristin Hannah

Kristin Hannah
That was what a best friend did: hold up a mirror and show you your heart.
Kristin Hannah
Popularity means people think they know you.
Kristin Hannah
And no one drank just one shot of tequila.
Kristin Hannah
It's not a date. I bought my own drink and I didn't shave my legs.
Kristin Hannah
I might screw up, I might embarrass you, I might yell at you, but I will never, ever stop loving you. You're my first born. The first time I held you... I fell in love so hard it cracked my bones.
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
She is like a child picking at a scab, unable to stop herself even though she knows it will hurt.
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
I'm an insomniac lately. It's one of the many prizes you find in the Cracker Jack box of a crumbling [relationship].
