“You know, I think I knew you for about three weeks before I ever really saw you smile. And then one day, Morgan said something and you laughed, and I remember thinking it was really cool because it meant something. You're not the kind of person who smiles for nothing, Colie. I have to earn every one.”

“Life isn’t smooth, but it’s the bumps that help us find out who we are. And it’s handling the bumps that gives us courage.” ― Sarah Morgan, Once a Ferrara Wife...
“Morgan sighed. "I," she announced, "am so pathetic.""You are not," I said."I am." She went over and straightened the cling wrap, corner to corner. "Do you know how many times I've brought in devilled eggs? This is, like, the only time I haven't been sobbing and that's only 'cause I cried all night. And Norman," she said, her voice rising to a wail, "sweet Norman, always just acts so surprised to see the eggs, and pleased, and he never, once, has ever acted like he knew what they meant.” ― Sarah Dessen, Keeping the Moon
“From Bought: The Greek's Innocent Virgin ... He drew in a long breath. ‘You are very difficult to please.’‘No, I’m not. I’m easy to please. When you peel my orange for breakfast, you please me. When you rub my shoulders before I go to sleep, that pleases me. When you defend me from a nasty comment, that pleases me. I’m easy to please, Angelos.’ Her heart was pounding. ‘Just don’t try and buy me.” ― Sarah Morgan
“I love being single. It's my choice, not a sentence. It's not a state that I'm in until someone better comes along. Don't feel sorry for me. I love my life.""Don't you want someone to snuggle up to at night?""No. this way, I never have to fight for the duvet, I can sleep diagonally across the bed and I can read until four in the morning." "A book can't take the place of a man!" "I disagree. A book can give you most things a relationship can. It can make you laugh, it can make you cry, it can transport you to different worlds and teach you things. You can even take it out to dinner. And if it bores you, you can move on. Which is pretty much what happens in real life.” ― Sarah Morgan, Sunset in Central Park
“When she was reading, she didn’t just leave her own life behind, she stepped into someone else’s.” ― Sarah Morgan, Moonlight Over Manhattan
“Up until today she'd felt as if she was surviving. Now she felt as though she was living.Everything was different.” ― Sarah Morgan, Summer Kisses
“If you can’t stand the heat…’‘Get out of the kitchen?’ Holly completed the proverb but Nicky gave a saucy wink.‘Remove a layer of clothing.” ― sarah morgan, The Prince's Waitress Wife
“Failure is a part of life. Success teaches you nothing, but failure teaches you resilience. It teaches you to pick yourself up and try again.” ― Sarah Morgan, Sleepless in Manhattan
“I want to introduce the world to my princess.’ In a state of disbelief, Izzy took his hand and they walked back towards the stage. Happiness bubbled up inside her as it slowly dawned on her that this was real. She lifted her face to look at him. ‘I think I’m going to look cute in a tiara. I’ve never worn anything sparkly on my head before.’ He laughed and tightened his grip on her hand. ‘First thing tomorrow I’m going to buy you one.’ ‘Slow down.’ She winced and stooped to fiddle with her feet. ‘My shoes are hurting.’ ‘This is not news. Your shoes are always hurting, tesoro.’ ‘Do princesses absolutely have to wear shoes at all times?’ A slow smile spread across his face and he scooped her into his arms and carried her the last few steps onto the stage. ‘Of course not. Didn’t you read Cinderella?” ― Sarah Morgan, Defying the Prince
“He hadn't meant to get so angry at Morgan. He didn't often get angry at other people. There was no sense in it. The person you were angry at was rarely ever repentant. Now, getting angry with yourself had some merit. It showed you had sense enough to chastise the one person who had any hope of benefiting from it. And he was plenty angry with himself. For many things.” ― Sarah Addison Allen, The Girl Who Chased the Moon
“Intimacy wasn't sex, she realized. It was knowing someone.” ― Sarah Morgan, Sleepless in Manhattan
“You plan every step of your life, but sometimes you have to let life happen. Change is always unsettling, sometimes scary, but you have to let go. Take a risk. Risk can be fun.” ― Sarah Morgan, Sleepless in Manhattan
“If you don’t push yourself to do the things that scare you, how will you ever find out if there’s more to life than the one you’re living?” ― Sarah Morgan, Moonlight Over Manhattan
“My mother says I must not passToo near the glass;She is afraid that I will seeA little witch that looks like me;With a red, red mouth to whisper low,The very thing I should not know!” ― Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt
“Everyone knows you never find love when you go looking for it. You have to wait for it to find you.” ― Sarah Morgan, Miracle on 5th Avenue
“Drunk one night, Sarah had told me Women are the race, Tak. No two ways about it. Male is just a mutation with more muscle and half the nerves. Fighting, fucking machines. My own cross-sleevings had born that theory out. To be a woman was a sensory experience beyond the male. Touch and texture ran deeper, an interface with environment that male flesh seemed to seal out instinctively. To a man, skin was a barrier, a protection. To a woman, it was an organ of contact. That had its disadvantages. In general, and maybe because of this, female pain thresholds ran higher than male, but the menstrual cycle dragged them down to an all-time low once a month.” ― Richard K. Morgan, Altered Carbon
“Even though he'd dragged on his jeans in a hurry, he looked utterly spectacular. Indecently handsome and more masculine than any single member of the species had a right to look.” ― Sarah Morgan, The Forbidden Ferrara
“What is the happiest moment you can remember?” He didn’t hesitate. “The day they delivered my Ferrari.” “Fine! Tonight, you are going to look at me as if I’m your Ferrari.” “Do I get to put your top down?” ― Sarah Morgan, An Invitation to Sin
