Tears never were worth the effort of crying them.
Mary Balogh
And he knew at that moment that love world never die, that it would never fade away altogether. The time might come when he would meet and marry someone else. He might even be reasonably happy. But there would always be a deep precious place in his heart that belonged to his first real love.
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
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
I have read somewhere that we often spend a lifetime searching for what we already have.
Mary Balogh
The bad part is life continues. The good part is that the pain goes away.
Mary Balogh
The worst thing about loneliness is that it brings one face to face with oneself.
Mary Balogh
Why do I want to run from happiness?
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
There is nothing worse, is there, she said, than a past that has never been fully dealt with. One can convince oneself, that it is all safely in the past and forgotten about, but the very fact that we can tell ourselves that it is forgotten proves that it is not.
Mary Balogh
Was memory always as much of a burden as it could sometimes be a blessing.
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
But if one had everything one could ever need or want, what was left to dream of?
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
One day you will learn that love does not always betray you.
Mary Balogh
Suddenly, and for the first time, he was at the center of his own life, living it and loving it.
Mary Balogh
Even friends need private spaces, if only within the depths of their own souls, where no one else is allowed to intrude.
Mary Balogh
There had to be a reason why they were not going to marry. They had both been so adamant about it. What the devil was the reason?
Mary Balogh
Fear is a powerful beast, if it is allowed the mastery.
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
