Colleen Hoover Quotations

Every single person that spent a few bucks to buy a book that I wrote deserves a big thank you from my whole family.

I'm very passionate about music and was excited to see that the majority of readers loved the inclusion of lyrics.

As far as what readers can expect with 'Maybe Someday,' I'm not the type of writer who writes to educate or inform my readers. I simply write to entertain them.

When I published my first novel, 'Slammed,' I included lyrics at the beginning of each chapter from one of my favorite bands, The Avett Brothers. The overwhelmingly positive response from readers to those lyrics really surprised me.

When I sat down and wrote the first paragraph, I was like, 'Oh, I can go with this.' I didn't do an outline. I didn't do anything. I just wrote sentence by sentence, not knowing where the story was going.

With the advancement in e-reading technology, I was curious if it were possible for readers to be able to hear the actual songs while reading the book. I contacted Amazon and discussed the idea with their Kindle team, and they were very enthusiastic about it.

Choose your battles, but don't choose very many.

I got schooled this year by a boy. A boy that I'm seriously, deeply, madly, incredibly, and undeniably in love with. And he taught me the most important thing of all... To put the emphasis On life.

Hearts get infiltrated. Promises get broken. Rules get shattered. Love gets ugly.

How your heart can possibly find a way to love and trust a man again proves that I've fallen in love with the bravest woman I've ever known. I know how much courage it took for you to allow me in after what your father did to you. And I swear I will spend every last breath thanking you for allowing yourself to love me. Thank you so much for loving me, Linden Sky Hope.

Love and hate, despite their polar opposites, are both feelings that are induced by passion. I can handle that. It's the indifference I don't know how to process.

Keep an open mind; it's the only way new things can get in.

When you aren't sure what it is you hate or why you even hate it, it's hard to hold onto the details...you just hold on to the feelings.

You don't deserve words, Sky. You deserve actions.

The weight of lies will bring you down, follow you to every town 'cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there.

If words could break souls, my words just broke his in two.

I want to be your soulmate, even if I don't believe in them.

Sometimes you have to choose between a bunch of wrong choices and no right ones. You just have to choose which wrong choices feels the least wrong.

Find a balance between head and heart.

Understanding a situation doesn't always make it easier

The sky is always beautiful.Even when it's dark or rainy or cloudy,it's still beautiful to look at....it'll be there no matter what...and I know it'll always be beautiful.

Not everyone gets a happily every after. Life is real and sometimes it's ugly and you just have to learn how to cope.

I’m the only one that can be held accountable for the way my life turns out.

It's not a confession if no one reads it. It's just an unshared secret.

It's the beautiful moments like this that make up for the ugly love

In reality, people are who they are and they'll never really change.

It's crap that you're letting on bad year determine your fate for the rest of your life.

Every day of my life it feels as if I'm fighting my way up an escalator that only goes down. And no matter how fast or how hard I run to try to reach the top, I stay in the same place, sprinting, getting nowhere.

Sometimes not speaking says more than all the words in the world.

It's amazing how much distance one truth can create between two people.

When I published my first novel, Slammed, I included lyrics at the beginning of each chapter from one of my favorite bands, The Avett Brothers. The overwhelmingly positive response from readers to those lyrics really surprised me.

I'm afraid if I listen to my heart once, I'll never figure out how to ignore it again.

Some secrets should never turn into confessions. I know that better than anyone.

Selflessness. It should be the basis of every relationship. If a person truly cares about you, they'll get more pleasure from the way they make you feel, rather than the way you make them feel.

I need one of those chapter breaks. I just want to catch my breath, but I have no idea how.

Laugh a lot. Never go a day without laughing at least once.

Absolutely. Regret is counterproductive. It's looking back on a past that you can't change. Questioning things as they occur can prevent regret in the future. I questioned a lot about my relationship with your father. People make spontaneous decisions based off of their hearts all the time. There's so much more to relationships than just love.

I don't care who the student is, teachers should never be condescending. That should be the first rule in the teacher handbook.

If you aren't on Goodreads, you should be. I've said it before, it's like Facebook for readers on crack.

This thing about you that you think is your flaw - it's the reason I'm falling in love with you.

I'm Tetris, Silas. All my pieces and parts are going to fit into all of your pieces and parts.

If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die.

Whatever connection we thought we had before this...it doesn't compare to this moment. No matter what happens between us in life, this moment has just merged pieces of our souls together. Well always have that, and in a way it's comforting to know.

All marriages have a time limit if you enter them for the wrong reasons. Marriage doesn't get easier...it only gets harder. If you marry someone hoping it will improve things, you might as well set your timer the second you say, 'I do.

Imperfections define perfection

It's not just lies they're referring to. It's life. You can't run to another town, another place, another state. Whatever it is you're running from-it goes with you. It stays with you until you find out how to confront it.

I look at my reflection in the mirror and I see a girl who desperately wants to forgive a boy, but not without a hell of a lot of grovelling first.

It's amazing how you don't realize just how alone and scared you were until you have someone by your side to support you.

You just have to choose which wrong choice feels the least wrong.

Push your boundaries, that's what they're there for.

It’s what happens when two people become one: they no longer only share love. They also share all of the pain, heartache, sorrow, and grief.

A guy can tell a girl he's in love with her until he's blue in the face. Words don't mean anything to a woman when her head's full of doubt. You have to show her.

If I were a carpenter, I would build you a window to my soul. But I would leave that window shut and locked, so that every time you tried to look through it all you would see is your own reflection. You would see that my soul is a reflection of you.

Question everything. Your love, your religion, your passion. If you don't have questions, you'll never find answers.

God gives us the ugliness so we don't take the beautiful things in life for granted.

My lack of access to the real world has been replaced completely by books, and it can’t be healthy to live in a land of happily ever afters.

Love is the most beautiful thing in the world. Unfortunately, it's also one of the hardest things in the world to hold on to, and one of the easiest things to throw away.

Sometimes, two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together

Please don't allow anyone to make you feel less than what you are.

I wonder if it's possible for people to fall in love with a person one characteristic at a time, or if you fall for the entire person at once.

Nothing is permanent. The only thing any of us have in common is the inevitable.

I need someone who is willing to watch me brave the ocean and then dare me not to drown.

Don't take life too seriously Punch it in the face when it needs a good hit Laugh at it

There are people you meet that you get to know, and then there are people you meet that you already know.

When life gives you lemons, make sure you know whose eyes you need to squeeze them in.

You're incredibly brave. And you're going to make it through this because you have a very strong heart. A heart that is capable of loving so much about life and people in a way you never dreamt a heart could love. And you're beautiful in here. Your heart is so beautiful and someday someone is going to love that heart like it deserves to be loved.

Sometimes in life, we need a few bad days in order to keep the good ones in perspective.

Never judge others. You both know good and well how unexpected events can change who a person is. Always keep that in mind. You never know what someone else is experiencing within their own life.

Does he treat you with respect at all times? That's the first question. The second question is, if he is the exact same person twenty years from now that he is today, would you still want to marry him? And finally, does he inspire to be a better person? You find someone you can answer yes to all three, then you've found a good man.

Love isn't always pretty. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it'll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you're back to square one, and you lost your heart somewhere along the way.

We try so hard to hide everything we're really feeling from those who probably need to know our true feelings the most. People try to bottle up their emotions, as if it's somehow wrong to have natural reactions to life.

I want you to remember who you are, despite the bad things that are happening to you. Because those bad things aren't you. They are just things that happen to you. You need to accept that who you are and the things that happen you, are not one and the same.
