Sarah Addison Allen Quotes

To think, after all this time, after all the searching and all the waiting, after all the regret and the time she’d spent away, she came back to find that happiness was right where she’s left it. On a football field in Mullaby, North Carolina. Waiting for her Picture Quote #1

There’s an old hymn called ‘How Can I Keep from Singing?’ That’s what writing feels like to me. I have to write. It’s intrinsic to who I am.
