A compilation of 200 of the most reassuring and empathetic quotes for anyone going through a difficult time
At some point, we all need a pick-me-up; comforting words from a friend, family, or colleague. This Book Is a Hug embodies all of these things. It's a soft blanket on a chilly night. It's a babbling brook by the window. It's a comfy sweatshirt that's been washed a hundred times. It's a bowl of chicken noodle soup. Through warm and comforting words, this is a book to turn to when in need of an emotional boost. Always in your back pocket and within arm's reach, this collection is lovingly assembled for reassurance that everyone needs some TLC sometimes. Here is a selection of quotes from the book: "You've got a friend in me…" Randy Newman
