“A practical girl never pines; she takes action.”
― Adriana Trigiani, The Shoemaker's Wife

“Fall in love with a plain girl. Plain girls never turn bitter. They appreciate their portion, no matter how meager A small pearl is enough. They never long for the diamond. Beautiful girls have high expectations. You bring them daisies, and they want roses. You buy them a hat, ad they want the matching coat. It's a well so deep you cannot fill it. I know. I've tried.”
― Adriana Trigiani, The Shoemaker's Wife

“When you lose someone, they take a bigger place in your heart, not a smaller one. Every day it grows, because you don't stop loving them. You wish you could talk to them. You need their advice. But life doesn't always give us what we need, and it's difficult.”
― Adriana Trigiani, The Shoemaker's Wife

“For a woman, love is the highest dream, and if a man promises to build a ladder tall enough to reach it, she believes him, hikes up her skirt, and follows him to the stars.”
