“She could make her way alone in the world, but when she stared out over the rest of her life, she wanted him beside her, holding her hand and whispering to her that she was still beautiful. She wanted to watch his hair turn white and his eyes grow dim and know that none of it mattered, that their love lived in a deeper place. Whatever else she would search for in life, he would always be at the center of it. The place she came home to.”
― Kristin Hannah, Distant Shores

“But love has to be stronger than hate, or there is no future for us.”
― Kristin Hannah, The Nightingale

“You’re not alone, and you’re not the one in charge,” Mother said gently. “Ask for help when you need it, and give help when you can. I think that is how we serve God—and each other and ourselves—in times as dark as these.”
― Kristin Hannah, The Nightingale

“What you do is nothing compared to who you are.”
― Kristin Hannah, Distant Shores
