Paula Hawkins

Quotes

• “The holes in your life are permanent. You have to grow around them, like tree roots around concrete; you mould yourself through the gaps.”
• “Let’s be honest: women are still only really valued for two things—their looks and their role as mothers.”
• “People think it's terribly sad to spend Christmas alone, but it's no sadder, really, than spending any other day alone, is it?”
• “I have never understood how people can blithely disregard the damage they do by following their hearts.”
• “It’s impossible to resist the kindness of strangers. Someone who looks at you, who doesn’t know you, who tells you it’s OK, whatever you did, whatever you’ve done: you suffered, you hurt, you deserve forgiveness.”
• “Some days I feel so bad that I have to drink; some days I feel so bad that I can’t.”
