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.

More quotes by Kristin Hannah
Their friendship was more important than any relationship. Guys would come and go girlfriends were forever.
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 know about forgiving people and loving them anyway, even after they hurt you.
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
Nina knew the power of black and white images. Sometimes a thing was its truest self when the colors were stripped away.
Kristin Hannah
....both had learned that everything could change in an instant, and that the heartfelt vows of people in love were fragile words that, once shattered, could cut so deeply you'd bleed forever.
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
She had been ready to love this man from the moment she first saw him. In all these years, that had never changed. They'd hurt each other, let each other down, and yet, here they were after everything, together. 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
Popularity means people think they know you.
Kristin Hannah
It was the Magic Hour, the moment in time when every leaf and blade of grass seemed to separate, when sunlight, burnished by the rain and softened by the coming night, gave the world an impossibly beautiful glow.
Kristin Hannah
The hallmark of my books is the relationships that define women's lives.
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
To lose love is a terrible thing. But to turn away from it is unbearable. Will you spend the rest of your life replaying it in your head? Wondering if you walked away too soon or too easily? Or if you'll ever love anyone that deeply again?
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
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
The measure of a society is its compassion.
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
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
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
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.
