Quotes from After Ever Happy

“I saw the empty, sad girl
smile for the sad boy who loves her with all of his
broken soul.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“You shouldn’t
date someone if your heart is owned by someone
else. It doesn’t work, trust me.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“It’s
not so easy to walk away from someone when he
has made his way into every cell, when he has
taken over every thought, and he has been
responsible for the best and worst feelings I’ve
ever had. No one, not even the doubting part of me,
can make me feel bad for loving passionately and
hoping desperately that I could have that great love
that I’ve read about in novels.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“I’m truly sorry that I ruined you,” I whisper into her hair as her breathing begins to show signs of sleep. “Me, too,” she breathes, and regret fills in the little spaces between us as she drifts off.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“I want him to look in the mirror and smile, not scowl. I need him to not think of himself as a monster. I need him to see the real him, because if he doesn’t pull himself out of the villain role, it will destroy him, and I’ll just be left with ashes. I just needed to get it all out because I feel like I’m drowning, and it’s hard to keep myself above water,especially when I’m fighting against the current to save him rather than myself.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“I couldn’t comprehend the magnetic pull
that could be felt. I never understood the way love
overpowers common sense and passion overtakes
logic, or how unnerving it is that no one else really knows how you feel—no one can judge me for being weak or stupid, no one can put me down for
the way I feel.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“There’s always another day, there’s always a way to make up for the shit you’ve done and the people you’ve hurt, and there is always someone who loves you, even when you feel like you’re completely alone and you’re just out there floating along, waiting for the next disappointment. There is always something better to come.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“The feeling of not being wanted somewhere when you aren't sure how to leave is one of the worst feelings.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“He wants her to know that she was his savior and that he could never repay her for everything she has done for him, and that he loves her with his entire soul and nothing will ever change that. He wants to remind her that whatever their souls are made of, his and hers are the same. Their favorite novel said it best.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“You won’t know how lucky you are to be able to spend your life with the other half of your soul until you have to spend your life without them.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“It’s impossible to change people who have their mind set on who they are.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“No one has to know until we adopt in a few years. I’m sure there are loads of damn babies waiting for parents to buy them. We will be fine.”

I know she hasn’t accepted my offer of marriage, or even being in a relationship with me, but I hope she doesn’t use this opportunity to remind me of that.

She laughs softly. “Damn babies? Please tell me you don’t think there is a store somewhere downtown where you walk in and purchase a baby?” She lifts her hand to her mouth to stop herself from laughing at me.

“There isn’t?” I joke. “What’s Babies ‘R’ Us, then?”

“Oh my goodness!” She tilts her head back in laughter.

I reach across the small space between us and grab hold of her hand. “If that damn store isn’t full of babies, lined up, ready for purchase, than I’m suing for false advertisement.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“I guess that's the thing about betrayal; it holds no prejudice and preys on those who neither see it coming nor deserve it.”

“no matter how hard you try. They have to want it as bad as you do or there is no hope.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“Seriously, it's okay to be sad, but if you let sadness control your life, you'll never have one.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“The worst part of being okay is that okay is far from happy. Okay is that gray space in the middle where you can wake up each day and carry on with your life, even laugh and smile often, but okay isn’t joy. Okay isn’t looking forward to each second of your day, and okay isn’t getting the most out of life. Being okay is what most people settle for, myself included, and we pretend that okay is fine, when we actually hate it, and we spend the majority of our time waiting to break out of just being okay. He gave me a taste of how great life can be outside of okay, and I’ve missed it ever since. I’ve been okay for a long time, and I’m not sure how to get out of it now, but I hope for the day that I can say I’m great instead of I’m okay.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“Her laugh, her laugh was the sound that brought him out of the darkness and into the light. Her laugh dragged him, by his damn collar, through the bullshit clouding his mind and infecting his thoughts.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“Whatever the hell our souls are made of, they are the same.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“You won't know how lucky you are to be able to spend your life with the other half of your soul until you have to spend your life without them.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“After everything, we made it. Whatever the hell our souls are made of, they are the same.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“No se de que están hechas las almas. pero la mía y la suya son una sola.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

“And the irony is that as soon as he finally had something, someone worth living for, he’s gone. Like he couldn’t handle that much goodness.”
― Anna Todd, quote from After Ever Happy

About the author

Popular quotes

“Oh, and Cammie," At the sounds of his voice, I spun around, expecting to hear him crack a joke or call me Gallagher Girl. The last thing I expected was to feel his arms sliding arounds me, to sense the whole world turning upside down as Zach dipped me in the middle of the foyer and pressed his lips to mine. Then he smiled that smile I'd come to know. "I always finish what I start.”
― Ally Carter, quote from Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy

“I was like one who forgets all day to eat until the scent from some other's roasting pan reminds her she's ravenous.”
― Geraldine Brooks, quote from Year of Wonders

“We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull. You”
― George Orwell, quote from Animal Farm / 1984

“People don't know anymore why we've had eight years of war. Why their children have died...This entire war was just a big setup to destroy both the Iranian and the Iraqi armies. The former was the most powerful in the Middle East in 1980, and the latter represented a real danger to Israel. The West sold weapons to both camps and we, we were stupid enough to enter into this cynical game...eight years of war for nothing! So now the state names streets after martyrs to flatter the families of the victims. In this way, perhaps, they'll find some meaning in all this absurdity.”
― Marjane Satrapi, quote from The Complete Persepolis

“Words define us,' Mom continued, as I struggled to make my clumsy marks look like her elegant script. 'We must protect our knowledge and pass it on whenever we can. If we are ever to become a society again, we must teach others how to remain human.”
― Julie Kagawa, quote from The Immortal Rules
