“Death was painful, not because people couldn't see their loved ones anymore, but because they couldn't communicate with them anymore.”

“It's good to plan, but don't let the planning take the place of doing.” ― Karen McQuestion, A Scattered Life
“Seems like sometimes life gives you what you need instead of what you want, if you know what I mean” ― Karen McQuestion, A Scattered Life
“Old people were so dumb about social media, but this time it was to his advantage.” ― Karen McQuestion, The Moonlight Child
“Do the thing you long to do and become the person you’re destined to be.” ― Karen McQuestion, The Long Way Home
“There was something about facing an impossible task, breaking it down into small parts, and getting the job done that she found immensely satisfying.” ― Karen McQuestion, Half a Heart
“I’d never been one for prayer, but when things got serious, I put it into overdrive, imagining God on the other end thinking, hmmm . . . Emma doesn’t usually pray. This must be serious.” ― Karen McQuestion, From a Distant Star
“Most people have everything they need to be happy.” ― Karen McQuestion, A Scattered Life
“Say you’re at home and you want something, like a book, so you go online and order it from Amazon. Two days later, the book you ordered is in a box on your front porch. What if you’d just thought, ‘I wish I had that book,’ but you didn’t do anything else? Would it be on your porch two days later?” A few ladies shook their heads. “No, it would not. Because you didn’t put in an order. Think of all the times you’ve said, ‘Why isn’t this happening for me?’ or ‘I want this,’ and nothing ever changes. Without placing your order, you’re just saying words that circle in the air.” ― Karen McQuestion, Hello Love
“Standing under a spray of warm water is a quick but short-term fix to most of life’s problems.” ― Karen McQuestion, Edgewood
“we’re all the stars of our own lives. Let’s make it the best production we can!” ― Karen McQuestion, Hello Love
“You noticed a child all alone and dressed like a vagrant, and yet you did nothing,” ― Karen McQuestion, Half a Heart
“She mentally went over her mantra: You can’t control other people, only yourself.” ― Karen McQuestion, The Moonlight Child
“People loved their dogs. They were their children, their companions, sometimes even their soul mates. Some people swore that their dog had an almost psychic connection with them, sensing when they were sad and bringing them comfort.” ― Karen McQuestion, Hello Love
“People believe things that aren't true about other people just because of how they look and what kind of vehicle they drive. Why can you not wait and see who they are inside before you make a decision". "Because we're afraid" I said. "If I had trusted them and they turned out to be bad people, they might have robbed us or attack us. It's better to be cautious". "That is a sad thing" he said. "Always thinking the worst of other people". "Sad, but that's the way it is. We have to judge them on how they act and other was of knowing about them except what we can see on the outside” ― Karen McQuestion, From a Distant Star
“In as much time as it takes to smoke a cigarette, a person's life was changed forever.” ― Karen McQuestion, A Scattered Life
“I have faith that when the time is right I’ll find what I’m really meant to do with my life, and it will all come together for me. For now, this is good.” ― Karen McQuestion, The Long Way Home
“Every cell in your body, she said, was a quark, a sort of vibrating string. And through their thoughts and intentions, human beings had an almost magnetic power to attract similar strings out in the universe. As the number and intensity of these attracted strings build, a critical mass is reached and the want, whatever that may be, comes into being. “Most of us are more powerful than we know. We are each in charge of our own vibrating energy.” ― Karen McQuestion, Hello Love
“What do you like to read?” she asked. “Everything,” I answered, a vague reply but true. I loved thrillers, ghost stories, and stories set in different cultures. I liked reading about anyone who had an interesting life, from women who dressed up as men to fight in the Civil War, to the guy who invented Q-tips. If nothing else was available, I read junk mail and the backs of cereal boxes.” ― Karen McQuestion, Favorite
