| 0a46d30 | Today I love you more than ever; tomorrow I will love you even more. I need you more than ever; I want you more than ever. I'm a man of fifty years of age coming to you, feeling like a teenager in love, asking you to give me a chance and love me back. Rosie Dunne I love you with all my heart, I have always loved you when I was seven years old and lied about falling asleep on Santa watch, when I was ten years old and didn't invite you to my .. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| 65ae7a8 | Rosie: Well we're not exactly 20 years old are we? Ruby: No thank god for that because if that was the case I would have to go through a shit marriage and a divorce all over again. We would have to go out and look for jobs, be all uncertain about our lives, care about dating and how we look and what car we're driving, what music we're playing in it, what we wear, whether we'll get into certain clubs or not bla bla bla bla. What's so good ab.. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| ed3cc43 | Somewhere along the line I had forgotten to figure out who and where I was. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| f44a1ff | It's funny because when you're a child, you believe you can be anything you want to be, go wherever you want to go. There's no limit to what you can dream. You expect the unexpected, you believe in magic, in fairy tales, and in possibilities. Then you grow older and that innocence is shattered and somewhere along the way the reality of life gets in the way and you're hit by the realization that you can't be all you wanted to be, you might h.. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| 3c281d1 | Rosie: No, Alex is not jealous of my relationship with Greg! Why should he be? He's married to perfect pretty little Sally, happily might I add (at least according to Sally) and I have a lovely photograph of the two of them lying on the beach together looking very much in love just to prove it. I gave him a chance to be part of Katie's life and mine and he chose to remain my friend, which is what I have now come to terms with. It's fine. No.. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| a4b9629 | Dear Ms. Dunne, I was hoping that you could come to the school to discuss Katie's rapidly deteriorating behavior in class. Her attention span is short and she distracts other students by her note-passing. How does Wednesday after school sound? You can reach me at the school. You know the number. Ms. Casey To Katie, What do you mean your mum just laughed? From Toby Ahern, Cecelia (2005-02-01). Love, Rosie (p. 99). Hachette Books. Kindle.. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| 8437778 | But if they are serious, then my job is to be solely responsible for the running of all aspects of the resort and I'll have to liaise with the head office and provide weekly reports. I've never had to "liaise" before. It sounds sexy and dangerous. Any job that tells me that I have to "liaise" with the big boys in the head office is a winner to me. I can picture myself all dolled up in a cocktail dress at a work "do" standing in a circle wit.. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| 388259d | Rosie: Actually, I'm surprised to admit it myself but she's not so bad. In fact she's not bad at all. As far as bosses go she's been really, really pleasant. Her name is Julie. Can you believe it? She actually has a first name. And all this time I had convinced myself it was Big Nose Smelly Breath. And it's a nice, normal name too; I would have thought it was something more like Vladimir or Adolf. Ahern, Cecelia (2005-02-01). Love, Rosie (p.. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| aa60d17 | It's not his job to mind her, or is it? Perhaps that's a job he's given himself, placing himself in a position of importance for his own ego. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| 8a29d34 | Maybe it's wrong to deprive people of that experience, this experience of you I'm, having. Maybe I didn't want to share you. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| f9ee5ab | Holly took a sip of her tea. Oh, the wonders of the magical tea, the answer to all of life's little problems. You have a gossip and you make a cup of tea, you get fired from your job and you have a cup of tea, your husband tells you he has a brain tumour and you have a cup of tea ... | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| 31911bc | Cross your fingers and pray for a miracle. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| 729df1c | Most people in life don't have to actively do anything to change us, they simply need to be. I reacted to you. You affected me. You helped me. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| eedd982 | Sometimes I forget why I feel that way, I just have this feeling that something bad has happened to me and affected my life. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| 8d17d0b | Life is hard, so what? It's hard for everyone, isn't it? Anyone who says it's easy is a liar. | love rosie | Cecelia Ahern | |
| b6f2675 | It's a moment, that's all. And moments pass. If you hang in there, this moment will pass and you won't want to end your life. You probably think that no one cares, or that they'll get over you. Maybe you think they want you to do this. They don't. No one wants this for anyone. It might feel as if there are no options, but there are - you can come through this. Get down and let's talk about it. Whatever is going on, you can get through it. I.. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| 575d944 | You're always sorry 'after' you do something. You never think about how they feel or how you'd feel 'before'. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| ea37cfb | And there are the very special people in our lives who have the endless capacity to love us for all of our flaws. | flaws love perfect | Cecelia Ahern | |
| 491278c | It was comforting to know she wasn't alone in feeling alone. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| 173ad07 | And then one good thing happened that day, the first good thing, the only good thing, but sometimes you only ever need one good thing. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| 2b74472 | I got precious little time for you to belong to me. I'm gonna make sure it isn't any shorter than it has to be. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 6536647 | That's what I think love is, when your hindsight's twenty-twenty, and you still wouldn't change a thing. | Jodi Picoult | ||

| 7e5bce0 | It's raining. the kind of rain that comes down so heavy it sounds like the shower's running, even when you've turned it off. The kind of rain that makes you think of dams and flash floods, arks. The kind of rain that tells you to crawl back into bed, where the sheets haven't lost your body heat, to pretend that the clock is five minutes earlier than it really is. Ask any kid who's made it past fourth grade and they can tell you: water never.. | rain | Jodi Picoult | |
| e6b63ad | When we were little, Eric and Fitz and I invented a language. I've forgotten most of it, with the exception of a few words: valyango, which meant pirate; palapala, which meant rain; and ruskifer, which had no translation to English but described the dimpled bottom of a woven basket, all the reeds coming together to form one joint spot, and that we sometimes used to explain our friendship. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 4f328af | I've always been a loner, and I've never really felt like I belong here. I'm like one of those women who read Jane Austen obsessively and still hope that Mr. Darcy might show up at the door. Or the Civil War reenactors, who growl at each other on battlefields now spotted with baseball fields and park benches. I'm the princess in an ivory tower, except every brick is made of history, and I built this prison myself. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 9fe5328 | In the custom of mourning, the fabric of the night had been ripped, revealing a star at each tiny tear. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| cfad90c | Could you love someone so much that, even without meaning to, you hurt them? | Jodi Picoult | ||
| ba9d47b | No matter what you do for someone-no matter if you feed him a bottle as a baby or curl up with him at night to keep him warm or give him food so he's not hungry-make one wrong move at the wrong moment, and you become someone unrecognizable. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| ba495cf | There are two types of spirits. One makes the transition to the spirit realm and goes on to whatever comes next. They can still come back to connect with people who are alive, but it's like dropping by for a visit, and then they go back to whatever it is they were happily doing in the next life. On the other hand, earthbound spirits--ghosts--are folks who pass but still have unfinished business. They feel like they're going to be judged for.. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| b9c3034 | If we don't change the direction we are headed, we will end up where we are going. - Chinese proverb | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 04485c8 | You can invent any fiction and call it a life." "Sometimes, when you don't ask questions, it's not because you are afraid that someone will lie to your face. It's because you're afraid they'll tell you the truth." -- | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 0c61d38 | May be the question we need to ask isn't whether there's any fresh twenty first century sin...but whether the people who define sin have changed, because of the times. | Jodi Picoult | ||

| 6370117 | The Thai people are pathologically shy. Combine that with a reluctance to lose face by giving a wrong answer, and it makes for a painfully long [ESL] class. Usually I ask the students to work on exercises in small groups, and then I move around and check their progress. But for days like today, when I'm grading on participation, speaking up in public is a necessary evil. "Jao," I say to a man in my class. "You own a pet store, and you want .. | esl | Jodi Picoult |
