His & Hers QUOTES

1 " Funny how often life seems to work in reverse. We were children masquerading as adults and now we are adults acting like children. "

― Alice Feeney , His & Hers

2 " Sometimes I think I am the unreliable narrator of my own life. Sometimes I think we all are. "

― Alice Feeney , His & Hers

― Alice Feeney , His & Hers

4 " Patience is the answer to so many of life's questions. "

― Alice Feeney , His & Hers

5 " I think when we finally get what we think we want, it loses its value. It's the secret nobody ever shares, because if they did, we would all stop trying. "

― Alice Feeney , His & Hers

12 " Sometimes I get lost in my own thoughts and fears. Trapped within a world of worry which, deep down, I know only exists inside my head. Anxiety often screams louder than logic, and when you spend too long imagining the worst you can make it come true. "

― Alice Feeney , His & Hers

13 " We all have cracks, the little dents and blemishes that life makes in our hearts and minds, cemented by fear and anxiety, sometimes plastered over with fragile hope. I choose to hide the vulnerable sides of myself as well as I’m able at all times. I choose to hide a lot of things.
The only people with no regrets are liars. "

― Alice Feeney , His & Hers

14 " I’ve always loved listening to the way different people speak, it can tell you so much about them. I don’t just mean accents, I mean everything: the tone, the volume, the speed, as well as the language. The words they choose to use, and how and when and why they say them. The silences between the sentences, which can be just as loud. A person’s voice is like a wave – some just wash right over you, while others have the power to knock you down and drag you into an ocean of self-doubt. The sound of her speaking makes me feel like I’m drowning. "

― Alice Feeney , His & Hers

― Alice Feeney , His & Hers

18 " Sometimes I find the only way to ease the worst forms of pain is to damage myself in a different way. Distract my attention from the things that can and will break me. A little hurt to help me heal. "

― Alice Feeney , His & Hers

19 " There are two kinds of women: those who spend a lifetime trying not to turn into their mothers, and those who literally seem to want nothing more. I often find both varieties get the complete opposite of what they hoped for – one set become carbon copies of the women they didn’t want to be, while the others never live up to their own expectations of who they think they should have become "

― Alice Feeney , His & Hers

20 " I made it a habit not to forget anything or anyone, especially people who have wronged me. What I lack in forgiveness I make up for in patience. And I pay attention to the little things, because they are often the biggest clues to who a person really is. People rarely see themselves the way others do; we all carry broken mirrors. "
