Adriana Trigiani Love Quotations

I fell in love with reading when I was allowed to choose whatever books I wanted to check out of the library. I was around nine years old when I began choosing my own books in earnest.

I'm very organized - and the best thing - when you love your work, you don't mind putting in 15 hour days. It's joyful.

Writing is writing. It's an abiding, wonderful talent, craft, gift that stays with you your whole life. And you can go in different forms, and you can try them. Look at me: I'm writing novels because I found something I love because I tried it.

That's when you know for sure somebody loves you. They figure out what you need and they give it to you - without you asking.

The only urgent thing in life is the pursuit of love. You get that one right, and you've solved the mystery.

Maybe a first love exists to reaffirm the best parts of yourself, the choices you made when you didn't worry about the consequences. Maybe a first love exists to remind you to be brave in the moment, to stand up for your feelings, instead of shrinking back in the face of potential loneliness.

I'm writing novels because I found something I love because I tried it. Don't be afraid to shake it up.

Two different things. Work is survival, and love sustains you. You have work anytime. But love? Not always.
