Sarah Addison Allen, The Peach Keeper

"Happiness is a risk. If you’re not a little scared, then you’re not doing it right."

"Coffee, she'd discovered, was tied to all sorts of memories, different for each person. Sunday mornings, friendly get-togethers, a favorite grandfather long since gone, the AA meeting that saved their life. Coffee meant something to people. Most found their lives were miserable without it. Coffee was a lot like love that way. And because Rachel believed in love, she believed in coffee, too."

"People always say life is too short for regrets. But the truth is, it's too long."

"Every life needs a little space. It leaves room for good things to enter it."
