More quotes by Sara Zarr
The kind of life I want is to be a person who would get a personal note every day.
Sara Zarr
When the remembering was done, the forgetting could begin.
Sara Zarr
I get a message from my dad. In the mood I'm in, I tear up to see his name in my inbox, and imagine him down the hall in bed, propped on pillows, emailing me. Hon,Enjoyed our gelato date the other night. I just want to say I'm proud of you for a lot of reasons. Also, I've attached a picture of my foot.He's such a weirdo goofball. I love him.
Sara Zarr
I played the clarinet, and my sister played the violin... If wed had the discipline and the passion, maybe we could have been good.
Sara Zarr
It's a jagged thing in my throat, how much I miss her.
Sara Zarr
Because love, love never finishes.
Sara Zarr
Life was mostly made up of things you couldn’t control, full of surprises, and they weren’t always good. Life wasn’t what you made it. You were what life made you.
Sara Zarr
I do have a little bit more confidence in - or at least familiarity with - my process. For example, when it feels like it's going badly or that I'm lost, I know I'll eventually find my way because I've been through it before. But writing itself is still hard.
Sara Zarr
It's hard to say when my interest in writing began, or how. My mother read to my sister and me every night, and we always loved playing make-believe games. I had a well-primed imagination. I didn't start thinking about writing as a serious pursuit, a career I could have, until after college.
Sara Zarr
The one thing that could never die or be buried was my loyalty to Cameron for everything he’d done for me and what we’d been through together, even if that loyalty was a ghost.
Sara Zarr
Because love, love is never finished. It circles and circles, the memories out of order and not always complete.
Sara Zarr
I don’t want these memories to become slippery, to just disappear into the thin air of life the way most things seem to. I want them to stick – even the bad ones – so I repeat them often.
Sara Zarr
I'm remembering how this works. How life doesn't have to be only anxiety about what's gone wrong or could go worng, and complaints about the world around you. How a person you're excited about can remind you there's stuff going on beyond... routine oil changes and homework. Stuff that matters. Stuff to look forward to.
Sara Zarr
the mark we've left on each other is the color and shape of love. That's the unfinished business between us. because love, love is never finished.
Sara Zarr
When the reader and one narrator know something the other narrator does not, the opportunities for suspense and plot development and the shifting of reader sympathies get really interesting.
Sara Zarr
My whole life has been one big broken promise.
Sara Zarr
I understand that you can never have the whole picture inevitably, there’s stuff you don’t know, can’t know. But when it comes to Cameron I always want more than I have, would like to be able to take hold of at least one or two more pieces, if only because I’m convinced there are parts of myself inside them.
Sara Zarr
Life needed a fast forward button. Because there were days you just don't want to live through, not again, but they kept coming around and you were powerless to stop time or speed it up or do anything to keep from having to face it.
Sara Zarr
I tried his cell over and over but he never answered. Then I’d call just to hear his voice on the outgoing message, until eventually that was gone too.
Sara Zarr
You were never what I wanted to forget.
