More quotes by Paula Hawkins

I have never understood how people can blithely disregard the damage they do by following their hearts.

Let’s be honest: women are still only really valued for two things—their looks and their role as mothers.

The holes in your life are permanent. You have to grow around them, like tree roots around concrete; you mould yourself through the gaps.

Some days I feel so bad that I have to drink; some days I feel so bad that I can’t.

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.
