More quotes by Mary Balogh
The bad part is life continues. The good part is that the pain goes away.
Mary Balogh
I'm terrified that I will never be able to put him from my mind. I don't love him but I'm afraid that he will make it impossible for me ever to love anyone else.
Mary Balogh
Stop being so fruitlessly busy and dream. Use your imagination. Reach out into the unknown and dream of how you can enlarge your experience and improve your mind and your soul and your world.
Mary Balogh
Was memory always as much of a burden as it could sometimes be a blessing.
Mary Balogh
If you have always suspected your sister of an inclination to madness, it will be my pleasure to confirm your worst fears.
Mary Balogh
Why did people assume that the beautiful among them needed nothing but their beauty to bring them happiness? That behind the beauty there was nothing but an empty shell, insensitive shell?
Mary Balogh

Mary Balogh
But parents, she supposed, were not the pinnacle of perfection their children thought or expected them to be. They were humans who usually did the best they could but often made the wrong choices.
Mary Balogh
There is something infinitely better than happily-ever-after. There is happiness. Happiness is a living, dynamic thing, Eve, and has to be worked on every moment for the rest of our lives. It is a far more exciting prospect than that silly static idea of a happily-ever-after. Would you not agree? - Aidan Bedwyn
Mary Balogh
He wished someone in the course of history had thought of striking that word and all its derivatives from the English Language - happy, happier, happiest, happiness. What the devil did the words really mean anyway? Why not just the word pleasure, which was far more... well, pleasant.
Mary Balogh
My happiness has to come from within myself or it is too fragile a thing to be of any use to me and too much of a burden to benefit any of my loved ones.
Mary Balogh
I do beg you to have some regard for my pride. A million years? I assure you I would stop asking after the first thousand.
Mary Balogh
Have you noticed, she asked him, how we live much of our lives in the past and most of the rest of it in the future? Have you noticed how often the present moment slips by quiet unnoticed?
Mary Balogh
Every moment is a moment of decision, and every moment turns us inexorably in the direction of the rest of our lives.
Mary Balogh
But a mother-son relationship is not a coequal one, is it? He is lonely with only you just as you are lonely with only him.
Mary Balogh
It was so much more comfortable to be able to divide people into heroes and villains and expect them to play their allotted part.
Mary Balogh
Sometimes now was enough. Sometimes it was everything.
Mary Balogh
Love does not last forever, then? He asked me the same thing this morning, she said. No, it does not - not love that has been betrayed. One realizes that one has loved a mirage, someone who never really existed. Not that love dies immediately or soon, even then. But it does die and cannot be revived.
Mary Balogh
I have always been a spectator of life, you know, never a participant. Never. But now I am. Today I am, and I an awed and deliriously happy. This is the adventure I asked for, the adventure I am having I will be forever grateful to you.
Mary Balogh
Life, she realized, so often became a determined, relentless avoidance of pain-of one's own, of other people's. But sometimes pain had to be acknowledged and even touched so that one could move into it and through it and past it. Or else be destroyed by it.
