“University's like this little world, a bubble of time separate from everything before and everything after.” ― Mhairi McFarlane, You Had Me At Hello
“Those who said family mattered above all else were wrong. People you love, who love you back, matter above all. Crap people you happen to be related to: you need to stop thinking you owe them a limitless number of chances to hurt you.” ― Mhairi McFarlane, If I Never Met You

Or an incurable chronic condition that flares up from time to time.'A long pause, where life transforms from black-and-white to colour.'I'm eczema?'Ben beams. 'Eczema of the heart. That's it. Psoriasis of the soul.” ― Mhairi McFarlane, You Had Me At Hello
“Here’s what life has taught me so far: don’t worry about that thing you’re worrying about. Chances are, it’ll be obliterated by something you didn’t anticipate that’s a million times worse.” ― Mhairi McFarlane, Don't You Forget About Me
“I thought it would all fall into place. I've changed my mind. Do nothing, and nothing happens. Life is about decisions. You either make them or they’re made for you, but you can’t avoid them.” ― Mhairi McFarlane, You Had Me At Hello
“keep a close eye on the worst things that happened to you, they could turn out to be a doorway, a route to someplace else entirely, a map you couldn’t yet read.” ― Mhairi McFarlane, If I Never Met You
“...the life with him you feel like you lost out on, it’s perfect because it’s a fantasy and it’s a fantasy because it’s perfect.” ― Mhairi McFarlane, You Had Me At Hello
“There’s something exceptional about friendships with friends you’ve known since you were young. They know all the versions of you. They know how you were built. They have a map for you. There’s a shorthand between you, and a love that is as strong as any blood tie.” ― Mhairi McFarlane, Last Night
“God, whenever I forget why I hate men, one of them reminds me.” ― Mhairi McFarlane, If I Never Met You
“I don't expect to be happy ever after. Just happier.” ― Mhairi McFarlane, You Had Me At Hello
