21 " What an odd idea, really, to know that someone so very necessary in your life was lost to you and couldn’t be called back. "
― Sara Donati , The Gilded Hour (The Waverly Place #1)
22 " She would miss him for the rest of her life. "
23 " Sometimes I’ll regret the things I gave up,” Elise said. “But isn’t that always the way? Everyone makes choices and most people doubt themselves at one time or another. "
24 " Don’t go looking for trouble, it will find you soon enough without you shouting out an invitation. "
25 " I’m sure there are many women who would prefer not to have children, but few of them are honest with themselves about that. "
26 " And how was a person to deal with such generosity? To start with, she could appreciate the beautiful things around her. "
27 " Some women had that strength hidden inside them, a light that flared to life when everyone else was overwhelmed. "
28 " In the end few people are strong enough to reject what society expects of them. "
29 " What I’m saying is, you’re a turned-inward soul; it’s the way you cope with the hard things in life. You hide away. "
30 " That’s the hardest part, being strong enough to let the hurt in, and deal with it, and then let it settle in time, as it will. "
31 " No one ever does anything out of charity,” Anna went on. “Every choice we make benefits ourselves directly or indirectly. Even if it looks like a sacrifice, the alternative would be unbearable in some way. If I hadn’t helped I wouldn’t sleep well, and I need my sleep. "
32 " But a true friendship between women is the strongest bond of all. "
