198 Quotes by Emily Henry

I told you so you’d see how this whole world was made for you, how it warms when you smile and aches when you hurt. I told you so you could stop being afraid.

I have no idea how to help you with all of this. So tell me, okay? Tell me what you need and tell me every single time you need it, and I’ll be there.

I wish that change weren’t so hard, or that I didn’t feel so thoroughly that I need it in order to make room to live or space in my head to think.

You gotta enjoy the moment sugarcube. You’ll miss your whole life looking forward and backward if you’re not careful.

God is a thing I think I see glimmers all over: an enormous and vague warmth I sometimes catch pulsing around me, giving me shivers and making tears prick my eyes; a mysterious and limitless Thing threaded through all the world and refusing to be reduced to a name or a set of rules and instead winding itself through millions of stories, true and made up, connecting all breathing things.

I promise you. I promise you the stars. I promise you the lake and falls, coywolves and robins. I promise earth and heaven: I will love you long after the last human has taken his last breath. When the stars burn out and the oceans freeze over and the whole world is ash and dust and ice, our names will still be carved into this tree of life, side by side, and I’ll still be loving you.

Here’s the thing about writing Happily Ever Afters: it helps if you believe in them.

There’s little to feel when you love. There’s nothing to fear when you are loved.

It’s true that nothing has the potential to hurt so much as loving someone, but nothing heals like it either.
