More quotes by 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
What I know now about life is this: your mother is a part of everything you do and everything you are.
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
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

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.

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
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
This is the problem with forever friends. They know too much.
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
Their friendship was more important than any relationship. Guys would come and go girlfriends were forever.
Kristin Hannah
I can be a little OCD when it comes to my writing.
Kristin Hannah
To those who are here, those who are gone, and those who are lost.
Kristin Hannah
It’s a promise ring,” he said solemnly. “The lady at the store said it’s what you give the girl you love. It means I want to marry you someday.
