Quotes

You don't get perfect-but I was going to grab this happiness and hold it as tightly as I could. I was going to enjoy it for as long as it lasted. Jennifer Weiner
Jennifer Weiner quote: "People say I'm not good at writing about men. My dad left when..."
People say I'm not good at writing about men. My dad left when I was 16. Give me a break. I'm doing the best I can. Jennifer Weiner
Cram your head with characters and stories. Abuse your library privileges. Never stop looking at the world, and never stop reading to find out what sense other people have made of it. If people give you a hard time and tell you to get your nose out of a book, tell them you're working. Tell them it's research. Tell them to pipe down and leave you alone. Jennifer Weiner
Jennifer Weiner quote: "Hell is an Eagles game where the bleachers are always..."
Hell is an Eagles game where the bleachers are always freezing, the team is always loosing, and my family is insane Jennifer Weiner
Okay, I thought. Here you are. You are here. And you move forward becausethat's the way it works; that's the only place u can go. You keep goinguntil it stops hurting, or until you find new things to hurt you worse, Iguess. And that is the human condition, all of us lurching along in our own private miseries, because that's the way it is. Because, I guess, God didn't give us any choice. You grow up, I remembered Abigail telling me. You learn. Jennifer Weiner
As the days piled up into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, and fall slid into winter, I realized one of the great truths about tragedy: You can dream of disappearing. You can wish for oblivion, for endless sleep or the escape of fiction, of walking into a river with your pockets full of stones, of letting the dark water close over your head. But if you've got kids, the web of the world holds you close and wraps you tight and keeps you from falling no matter how badly you think you... Jennifer Weiner
As many times as I told her she was beautiful, I know that she never believed me. As many times as I said it didn’t matter, I knew that to her it did. Jennifer Weiner
Jennifer Weiner quote: "Every mother I've ever met, pretty much without exception, is..."
Every mother I've ever met, pretty much without exception, is doing the best job she can ever do. Jennifer Weiner
I wished that my job was baking muffins in a muffin shop, where all I'd have to do was crack eggs and measure flour and make change, and nobody could abuse me, and where they'd even expect me to be fat. Every flab roll and cellulite crinkle would serve as testimony to the excellence of my baked goods Jennifer Weiner
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the patience not to strangle my mother-in-law, chop her into little pieces, and dump them down a sewer. Jennifer Weiner
I realized one of the greatest truths about tragedy: You can dream of disappearing. You can wish for oblivion, for endless sleep or the escape of fiction, of walking into the river with pockets full of stones, of letting the dark water close over your head. But if you've got kids, the web of the world holds you close and wraps you tight and keeps you from falling, no matter how badly you think you want to fall. Jennifer Weiner
I could have told him that nothing was safe and that no matter how careful you were and how hard you tried, there were still accidents, hidden traps, and snares. You could get killed on an airplane or crossing the street. Your marriage could fall apart when you weren't looking; your husband could lose his job; our baby could get sick or die. Jennifer Weiner
Regular women carry pictures of their babies, their husbands, their summer houses. Fat ladies carry pictures of themselves at their skinniest. Jennifer Weiner
I think every person who is single should have a dog. I think the government should step in and intervene: If you're not married or coupled up, whether you've been dumped or divorced or widowed or whatever, they should require you to proceed immediately to the pound nearest you and select an animal companion. Jennifer Weiner
Jennifer Weiner quote: "Read everything. Read fiction and non-fiction, read hot best..."
Read everything. Read fiction and non-fiction, read hot best sellers and the classics you never got around to in college. Jennifer Weiner
