“At the end of the day Francis is not my kid, she's my niece.
Yes, but also who cares what word you use. Some Aunts are completely irrelevant, and some Aunts have been there since the day their niece was born. I had one grandmother i never saw and one who, when she died, I cried for 3 days. The word isn't what matters, it's the specific relationship. You love that kid more than anything on this planet. She knows that, and that's what matters.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Atmosphere

“We live in a world filled with hate and hurt, these are dark times, but there is still love and light if you look for it. Everyone you know is capable of being both good and bad. And one man’s right is another man’s wrong. We have built a society that places far too much importance on a phony idea of beauty and perfection. The world is full of people behaving like clones, all trying to look, sound, and be the same. Too busy constantly comparing themselves to each other on tiny screens to see the bigger picture. I’ve accepted that I can’t change the world, but I do believe that uniqueness is something to be celebrated, not feared or frowned upon. Life is beautiful and life is ugly and we have to learn to live with both sides of that same coin and see the light in the darkness. The world is Beautiful Ugly, relationships are Beautiful Ugly, love is Beautiful Ugly. Understanding that makes life easier to live with.”
― Alice Feeney, Beautiful Ugly

“There was a little spritz of sequined leaves across the right shoulder because you didn’t seem to be able to get away with none. Apparently the majority of ball gowns were designed by five-year-old girls armed with glitter guns, but at least this one didn’t look entirely like an explosion in a Barbie factory.”
― Ruth Ware, The Woman in Cabin 10

“The notion of chemically rebalancing your mood scary, she says it’s the idea of taking something that could alter how she really is. But I don’t see it that way; for me it’s like wearing makeup—not a disguise, but a way of making myself more how I really am, less raw. The best me I can be.”
― Ruth Ware, The Woman in Cabin 10

“May is like the Friday night of summer; all the good times lying ahead of you, bright and shiny and waiting to be lived.”
― Lisa Jewell, Then She Was Gone

“They are about to say "I do", three little letters, two little words.
Its the simplest part of the day; but there is nothing simple about the things that will remain unsaid.
"I do" means I do know I could be hurt, but I am ready to be healed with you.
It means I do want to try, even when the fear of failure holds me back.
And I do not know the future, but I am ready to be surprised along the way.
"I do" means I do want your love & I do give you mine.
And nothing we do will ever be the same, because we will be doing it all together.”
― Good Witch

“As she began the second verse, a sudden chill climbed the ladder of her spine, causing her to fall silent. She was not a woman given to premonitions, but as the icy quiver ascended to the back of her neck, she was overcome by a sense of impending danger.”
― Dean Koontz, False Memory

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
― William W. Purkey

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”
― Elbert Hubbard

“Oh to have a brain that does not torture itself.”
― Gillian McAllister, Wrong Place Wrong Time

“She learned that no matter how hard you try, sometimes it’s not enough. She learned the only person you could trust, the only person you could truly rely on, was yourself.”
― Ashley Elston, First Lie Wins

“No one gossips more than God fearing casserole toting women.”
― Ashley Elston, First Lie Wins

“Happiness is so hard to come by. I don't understand why anyone would begrudge anyone else for managing to find some of it.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Atmosphere
