More quotes by Kristin Hannah
Some stories don't have happy endings. Even love stories. Maybe especially love stories.
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
...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
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
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
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
Promises were a lot like impressions. The second one didn't count for much.
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
Their friendship was more important than any relationship. Guys would come and go girlfriends were forever.
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
The measure of a society is its compassion.
Kristin Hannah
Do you love him? How would I know? You'd know.
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
Sitting around and waiting for your muse is not the best choice.
Kristin Hannah
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
I guess no one stays friends for more than thirty years without broken hearts along the way.
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
And no one drank just one shot of tequila.
