The greatest gift a parent can leave a child is that parent's own independence.

She believed, of course ... b...

She believed, of course ... because without something to believe in, life would be intolerable.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

Life is so extraordinary. Won...

Life is so extraordinary. Wonderful surprises are just around the most unexpected corners.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

It was good, and nothing good...

It was good, and nothing good is truly lost. It stays part of a person, becomes part of their character. So part of you goes everywhere with me. And part of me is yours, forever

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

It is better to travel hopefu...

It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive. Arrival often brings nothing but a sense of desolation and disappointment.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

Things happen they way they'r...

Things happen they way they're meant to. There's a pattern and a shape to everything...Nothing happens without a reason...Nothing is impossible...(Page 180).

Other people's houses were al...

Other people's houses were always fascinating. As soon as you went through the door for the first time, you got the feel of the atmosphere, and so discovered something about the personalities of the people who lived there.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

They will come, not to paint ...

They will come, not to paint the bay and the sea and the boots and the moors, but the warmth of the sun and the colour of the wind. A whole new concept. Such stimulation. Such vitality.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

Grief was like a terrible bur...

Grief was like a terrible burden, but at least you could lay it down by the side of the road and walk away from it. Antonia had come only a few paces, but already she could turn and look back and not weep. It wasn't anything to do with forgetting. It was just accepting. Nothing was ever so bad once you had accepted it.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

Grief is a funny thing becaus...

Grief is a funny thing because you don't have to carry it with you for the rest of your life. After a bit you set it down by the roadside and walk on and leave it.

I wasn't good enough. I had a little talent but not enough. There is nothing more discouraging than having just a little talent.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

Beyond the pain, life continu...

Beyond the pain, life continues to be sweet. The basics are still there. Beauty, food and friendship, reservoirs of love and understanding. Later, possibly not yet, you are going to need others who will encourage you to make new beginnings. Welcome them. They will help you move on, to cherish happy memories and confront the painful ones with more than bitterness and anger.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

She remembered him smiling, a...

She remembered him smiling, and realized that time, that great old healer, had finally accomplished its work, and now, across the years, the face of love no longer stirred up agonies of grief and bitterness. Rather, one was left feeling simply grateful. For how unimaginably empty the past would be without him to remember.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

She put out her hand and touc...

She put out her hand and touched his forearm, as she would have touched some piece of porcelain or sculpture, just for the sheer animal pleasure of feeling its shape and curve beneath her fingertips.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

She thought of the last coupl...

She thought of the last couple of years: the boredom, the narrowness of existence, the dearth of anything to look forward to. Yet now, in a single instant, the curtains had been whipped aside, and the windows been thrown open onto a brillant view that had been there, waiting for her, all the time. A view, moreover, laden with the most marvellous possibilities and opportunities.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

Not having a father always ma...

Not having a father always made you feel that perhaps you weren't quite the same as other people. You felt you weren't complete.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

I'm not terribly intelligent ...

I'm not terribly intelligent - I have no university degree, you know.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

The two most wonderful things...

The two most wonderful things in life are money and sex, but the minute you start discussing them, they become b-o-r-i-n-g.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

People today expect too much from marriage. Getting married is really like taking on a big new job.

Rosamunde Pilcher 22 quotes

I never expect anything from ...

I never expect anything from anybody. I'm a bit Scottish like that - I don't like to be disappointed and let down. I like to take life very slowly.
