Favorite quotes from Thanks for the memories by Cecelia Ahern

How you doing?

I own 3 books written by Cecelia Ahern and I read them  immediately. There’s something special about her writing that makes me want to read nonstop. For today’s post I’ll be sharing my favorite quotes from Thanks for the memories.

 

~Favorite quotes~

“Rushing, rushing, rushing. We are always rushing.”

 

“I’ve increasingly found that people never truly tire of playing games and dressing up, no matter how many years pass. Our lies now are just more sophisticated; our words to deceive, more eloquent. From cowboys and Indians, doctors and nurses, to husband and wife, we’ve never stopped pretending.”

 

“You can’t know everything by looking at me. You can never know by looking at someone.”

 

“It’s funny how people mark their lives, the benchmarks they choose to decide when a moment is more of a moment than any other. For life is made of them.”

 

“He liked to remind of himself that his entire world hadn’t fallen apart. Sometimes we need all the glue we can get, just hold ourselves together.”

 

“What is it with you young people these days, breaking up and remarrying all the time? What happened to keeping promises?”

 

“Perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim?” (Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you)

 

“And everyday, I miss her more than I did the day before.”

 

“It’s like my garden, love. Everything grows. Including love. And with that growing everyday how can you expect missing her to ever fade away? Everything builds, including our ability to cope with it. That’s how we keep going.”

 

“It’s during troubled times like these that people see straight, though others watch with concern and try to convince them that they can’t. Weighted minds are just so because of their new thoughts. When those who have passed through their troubles and come out the other side suddenly embrace their new beliefs wholeheartedly, it is viewed with cynicism by others. Why?  Because when you’re in trouble you look harder for answers than those who aren’t, and it’s those answers that help you through.”

 

“Day-to-day things, the ordinary, the mundane is what keeps the motor running. How extraordinary the ordinary really is, a tool we all use to keep going, a template for sanity.”
