More quotes by Sarah Addison Allen
Men of thoughtless actions are always surprised by consequences.
Sarah Addison Allen
We're connected, as women. It's like a spiderweb. If one part of that web vibrates, if there's trouble, we all know it, but most of the time we're just too scared, or selfish, or insecure to help. But if we don't help each other, who will?
Sarah Addison Allen
Everything was quiet, a strange sort of quiet that felt like an unfinished sentence.
Sarah Addison Allen
Nothing is really broke, so it's not like I can fix it. I just have to keep trying to find what I'm looking for.
Sarah Addison Allen
I've never seen you hide from anyone before. He must do something crazy to you.
Sarah Addison Allen
Wasn't that the point to being married? That you had a partner, someone you trusted, to help with important decisions.

Sarah Addison Allen
I think of the future all the time. All my life I've chased dreams of what could be. For the first time in my life, I've actually caught one. I'll give you one day at a time, Claire. But remember, I'm thousands of days ahead already.
Sarah Addison Allen
It was the best first kiss in the history of first kisses. It was as sweet as sugar. And it was warm, as warm as pie. The whole world opened up and I fell inside. I don't know where I was, but I didn't care. I didn't care because the only person who mattered was there with me.
Sarah Addison Allen
To think, after all this time, after all the searching and all the waiting, after all the regret and the time she'd spent away, she came back to find that happiness was right where she's left it. On a football field in Mullaby, North Carolina. Waiting for her.
Sarah Addison Allen
But surprises were nothing new to her. Like opening a can of mushroom soup and finding tomato instead be grateful and eat it anyway.
Sarah Addison Allen
When your cup is empty, you do not mourn what is gone. Because if you do, you will miss the opportunity to fill it again.
Sarah Addison Allen
You can't change where you come from, but you can change where you go from here. Just like a book. If you don't like the ending, you make up a new one.
Sarah Addison Allen
She accepted it from then on. Books liked her. Books wanted to look after her.
Sarah Addison Allen
Every life needs a little space. It leaves room for good things to enter it.
Sarah Addison Allen
Crystalline swirls of sugar and flour still lingered in the air like kite tails.
Sarah Addison Allen
That, they knew, was true friendship. And they knew, if you're lucky enough to find it, you hold on to it.
