Kristin Hannah Quote: “But he wasn’t that man anymore. He had lost too much, and in his loss, he’d thrown more away.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Men are stupid. You might as well learn that now. Look at bull moose. They ram into each other at full speed. Same with Dall sheep. This will be a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Claire knew she loved her daughter too much; it was dangerous to need another human being so desperately, but Claire had never known any other way to love.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “I think you stand by the people you love. That was what he’d said, and it was what she would do.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “They were at war. Time was the one luxury no one had anymore. Tomorrow felt as ephemeral as a kiss in the dark. She.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Love doesn’t fade or die.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “It’s too bad we don’t live life backward. I think it was Kierkegaard who said that.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Don’t take peace for granted, he’d said to her often. It can shatter like glass.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Here’s what I want you to know: I loved my life. For so long I was waiting for it to start, waiting for more. It seemed like all I did was drive and shop and wait. But you know what? I didn’t miss a thing with my family. Not a moment. I was there for all of it. That’s what I’ll remember, and they’ll have each other.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “I went in search of my mother’s life, and found my own.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “They were standing at the top of a mountain, on a wide patch of flat land. Far below lay a vast swath of farmland, fields of green. Great rectangles of brown, newly tilled earth. “California,” Ant said. Elsa had never seen land so beautiful. So fertile. So green. California. The Golden State.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “When you’re a mom, you learn about fear. You’re always afraid. Always. About everything from cupboard doors to kidnappers to weather. There is nothing that can’t hurt our kids, I swear.” She turned. “The irony is they need us to be strong.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “She knew sorrow would hit her later, hit her hard, the sudden, aching realization that her father was Gone, that she’d never pick up the phone and hear his voice again, or go to her mailbox and get a letter written in his bold, sweeping hand.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “What did she wish? She didn’t know. When she thought about it, that was the problem with her life, now and always, she’d never known what to wish for until it was too late.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “There was a pain that came with constant disapproval; a sense of having lost something unnamed, unknown.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Life is short, her dad had said. She knew it was true. Every motherless child knew that. But just now, with her husband’s voice droning on and on, she couldn’t quite grasp hold of that. Because there was something else, equally true. When you were forty-five years old and missing out, it felt as if life were very long indeed.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Daylight expanded with each breath.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Lost. It makes it sound as if I misplaced my loved ones; perhaps I left them where they don’t belong and then turned away, too confused to retrace my steps. They are not lost. Nor are they in a better place. They are gone. As I approach the end of my years, I know that grief, like regret, settles into our DNA and remains forever a part of us.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Her teenage daughter was sprouting like a tree, blooming every day into another variation of who she would someday become. Moods twisted her up and left her looking sometimes like a girl who’d just washed up onshore, unable to quite remember who she was and who she wanted to be. Kate.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Don’t be who you needed to be over there. Come home to the people who love you. I wish to hell I’d figured out a way to do that.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Leni hadn’t understood then. Now she did. She saw how love could be dangerous and beyond control. Ravenous. Leni had it in her to love the way her mother did. She knew that now.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “We’ll be friends through jobs and kids and marriages.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “She had felt lonely for years, but now she truly was alone.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “That evening, after dinner, Leni sat on her twin bed, reading. The Stand by Stephen King. In the past week, she’d read three books by him and discovered a new passion. Goodbye science fiction and fantasy, hello horror. She figured it was a reflection of her inner life. She’d rather have nightmares about Randall Flagg or Carrie or Jack Torrance than about her own past.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Regret, I know, is a powerful remainder; it can bring the strongest man to his knees.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “The high she’d felt when he took that first breath had gone. Like getting to the top of a roller coaster: there was a nanosecond of pure exhilaration before the headlong plunge into fear.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Falling in love with you was the best thing I ever did.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “He pulled back and slowly got to his feet. We’ve all been carrying this baggage for too long. Some of us have tried to go on. He looked at her. And some of us have refused to. But all of us are hurting. I’m your father. She’s your mother – whatever she’s done or hasn’t done, or said or hasn’t said – she a part of you and you’re a part of her. Don’t you see that you can’t be whole without her?”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “I was taught by my father to be afraid of the world, and some of the lessons stuck. I read about Patty Hearst and the Zodiac Killer and the massacre at the Munich Olympics and Charles Manson, and I knew the world was a terrifying place. He said it all of the time, reminded me that mountains could blow up and kill people in their sleep. Governments were corrupt. A flu could come out of nowhere and kill millions. A nuclear bomb could fall at any second, obliterating everything.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “She hadn’t been where it mattered, making memories with her husband and children. Maybe she’d thought time was more elastic, or love more forgiving.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “She was a teacher, for God’s sake. What did she know to say about dangers such as these? How could she assuage a child’s fear when her own was straining at the leash?”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Although she’d been young – only four – Isabelle thought she’d learned what alone meant, but she’d been wrong. In the three years she’d lived at Le Jardin, she’d at least had a sister, even if Vianne was never around. Isabelle remembered peering down from the upstairs window, watching Vianne and her friends from a distance, praying to be remembered, to be invited, and then when.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “We must never forget these remarkable women and the daring, dangerous choices they made to save others and to protect and fight for their way of life.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Grief is a sneaky thing, always coming and going like some guest you didn’t invite and can’t turn away.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “For the first time in his life, he was going to be a goddamn hero.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “In the market, tourists were still crowded around the fish stand. White-aproned vendors threw thirty-pound king salmons through the air to one another: at every toss, tourists snapped photographs.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “She ate life with unapologetic enthusiasm and took as many helpings as she wanted.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Like geese,” she whispered into the tiny, shell-pink ear, “their babies imprint on the mama in the first sighting and never forget.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “She is so certain of everything. This war is black and white for her. Nothing seems to scare her.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “The minute he saw her, he understood what had been missing from his life. It was hokey, he knew, and sentimental and sappy, but that didn’t make it any less true. What he’d been longing for, without even realizing it, had been that elusive, magical mixture of friendship and passion that he’d only ever found with her.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “She worked like a dog to support us, doing whatever she had to do, but each night, at bedtime, she kissed me good night and told me I could be anything in America. It was the dream that had brought her here and she passed it on to me. But, it was a lie. For people like us, anyway. Folks who are from the wrong place, or have the wrong color skin, or speak the wrong language, or pray to the wrong God.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “It was like stepping barefoot on a sharp bit of broken glass. She pulled the glass out and ran on, but the pain remained.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Adults always talked about mistakes, the cost of doing the wrong thing. She wished she’d listened now.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “That was the thing about her dad: he might be moody and sharp-tempered, even a little scary sometimes, but that was just because he felt things like love and loss and disappointment so keenly.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “I close my eyes and in the darkness that smells of mildew and bygone lives, my mind casts back, a line thrown across years and continents.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “If I had told him the truth long ago, or had danced and drunk and sung more, maybe he would have seen me instead of a dependable, ordinary mother. He loves a version of me that is incomplete. I always thought it was what I wanted: to be loved and admired. Now I think perhaps I’d like to be known.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “With the wisdom of time and the passing of years, she knew that. She knew, too, that love didn’t evaporate. It faded, perhaps, lost its weight like bones left out in the sun, but it didn’t go away.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “Like the famous John Muir quote – The mountains are calling and I must go.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “In literature, death was many things – a message, catharsis, retribution.”
Kristin Hannah Quote: “All her life she had waited – longed for – people to love her, but now she saw what really mattered. She had known love, been blessed by it.”
