Emily Henry QUOTES

1 " She may be a bitch, but she's a genuine bitch with a heart "

― Emily Henry , The Love That Split the World

2 " For a moment we're both silent, staring. I wonder if either of us really sees the other clearly anymore or if we stuck looking at the frozen images of who we used to be. "

― Emily Henry , The Love That Split the World

3 " We both know that pain comes for us all. It's almost a relief. Because if all of us are going to someday lose the people we love most, or be lost by them, then what is there to do but live? "

― Emily Henry , A Million Junes

4 " I don't believe in love at first sight but maybe this is as close as it gets: seeing someone, a person you have no business loving, on a football field one night and thinking, I want you to be mine and I want to be yours. Lying on a closet floor with someone and thinking, I shouldn't know you but I do. Recognizing someone as a part of you before they've even become that person in your life, and knowing, without a doubt, that neither of you will ever be who you are in this exact moment ever again and believing, against all odds, you will continue to belong to one another despite that. "

― Emily Henry , The Love That Split the World

5 " Rachel,” I snap, “I don’t care if Janelle wants to work at Hooters. I don’t care if you and the rest of the world want to go spend your money on dried-out chicken and ketchup-based sauces. And least of all—less than almost anything else I can imagine—I don’t care how much sex your sister is or isn’t having. That’s kind of the deal with the whole uptight feminazi thing—we don’t care when other women want to wear stupid orange Soffe shorts with white tennis shoes and have a lot of sex, or when they want to wear habits and live in a convent, or if they want to walk around in pasties and never French kiss, so long as they’re allowed to do what they want. And right now, all I want is to go to bed. Okay? "

― Emily Henry , The Love That Split the World

6 " Just because you don't know what you want yet, it doesn't mean that there's nothing to want. "

― Emily Henry , The Love That Split the World

7 " We may be different, but in this moment we're feeling the exact same thing: the sad kind of bliss where you realize, suddenly, how perfect your life really has been all along. So perfect it hurts, and you could let yourself weep if you wanted. So perfect that even though everything you know is ending, you truly believe life will continue to be beautiful, even—or maybe especially—in those pure moments of loss. "

― Emily Henry , The Love That Split the World

8 " My inheritance is grief and sunlight and the ability to choose which to hold on to. "

― Emily Henry , A Million Junes

9 " It’s almost funny, in a tragic way, that the fiery thing at the center of my universe did die and that I, a girl whose name is synonymous with summer, am expected to live without it. "

― Emily Henry , A Million Junes

10 " And when you see those good things—and I promise you, there are so many good things—they’re going to be so much brighter for you than they are for other people, just like the abyss always seems deeper and bigger when you stare at it. If you stick it out, it’s all going to feel worth it in the end. Every moment you live, every darkness you face, they’ll all feel worth it when you’re staring light in the face. "

― Emily Henry , The Love That Split the World

11 " Maybe we can stay in denial together forever?' I suggest.
...
'No, I mean, maybe there's a town called Denial, and we can literally move there and forget about college. "

― Emily Henry , The Love That Split the World

12 " For now, more swoon and less doom, babycakes "

― Emily Henry , Beach Read

13 " Step one to a hangover-free life? Probably not moving into a house that drives you to drink. "

― Emily Henry

14 " I wondered if he was simply tired, if life had beaten him into permanent slouch, folded him over himself so no one could get at that soft center- "

― Emily Henry , Beach Read

15 " I loved that vulnerable excitement when he first caught sight of something that made him feel before he could cover it up. "

― Emily Henry , Beach Read

16 " Yes, I thought. That is how it life feels too often. Like you're doing everything you can to survive only to be sabotaged by something beyond your control, maybe even some darker part of yourself. "

― Emily Henry , Beach Read

17 " Every single person on the planet had to take turns in hurting. Sometimes all you could do was hold on to each other tight until the dark spat you back out. "

― Emily Henry , Beach Read

18 " He was bad with me too, but it was a little more random. If the phone rang and woke him up, he'd hit me, or if he had plans to go out but had to cancel for snow, he'd knock me around to burn off his anger. I was always looking for the secret code, the rules I could follow so he wouldn't freak out. That's how you keep yourself safe, you know? You pay attention to how the world works. But there was no secret code for him. It was like our actions were entirely detached from his reaction to us. "

― Emily Henry , Beach Read

19 " A faint smile flickered across his lips, then fell as he thought. ' I don't think I've ever loved the world like you do. I remember being afraid of it. And then angry with it. And then just — deciding not to feel too strongly about it. "

― Emily Henry , Beach Read

20 " No matter how much shit, there will always be wildflowers. "

― Emily Henry , Beach Read
