“When you love someone,” he said haltingly, “. . . you want to make this world look different for them. To give all the ugly stuff meaning, and amplify the good. That’s what you do. For your readers. For me. You make beautiful things, because you love the world, and maybe the world doesn’t always look how it does in your books, but . . . I think putting them out there, that changes the world a little bit. And the world can’t afford to lose that.”
― Emily Henry, Beach Read

“You know that feeling, when you're watching someone sleep and you feel overwhelmed with joy that they exist?”
― Emily Henry, Beach Read

“Here's the thing about writing Happily Ever Afters: it helps if you believe in them.”
― Emily Henry, Beach Read

“You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you.”
― Jane Austen, Persuasion
