More quotes by Alex Flinn
Maybe you actually do need to face obstacles with someone to know that they're the one you'd sacrifice for.
Alex Flinn
Since I've written many of my books from a less-than-sympathetic viewpoint, I think that being able to see things from all sides is a useful talent.
Alex Flinn
Sometimes, unexpected things can happen.
Alex Flinn
Although my other ambition was to be a musical theater star (and I would attend college on a voice scholarship), writing was never far from my mind.
Alex Flinn
This isn't a fairy tale. It's New York City.
Alex Flinn
I enjoy people who aren't afraid to say what they mean. It makes life so much easier!
Alex Flinn
I love you, I thought. But I didn't say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my face. She was far too kind for that. My fear was a greater one - that she won't say it back.
Alex Flinn
Anyone else feel like that? Like your life's a big act. Like you're trying to be a man when you're just a scared kid, trying to keep under control when you really want to scream, cry, or maybe hit someone. Ever feel like you're breathing underwater and you have to stop because you're gulping in too much fluid.
Alex Flinn
Each of my books took roughly one and a half years to write. Some may have taken a shorter time to write the draft and a longer time to revise, while others were the opposite.
Alex Flinn
I was a lawyer for about ten years. The law teaches one to see things from all different angles.
Alex Flinn
You shouldn't miss someone who don't miss you, right?
Alex Flinn
You are right. I have no idea, and it is none of my business, and I was taught to obey my parents. But sometimes it is just impossible to obey blindly. Sometimes a child must strike out on her own. A child cannot be a child forever, whether that means not touching a spindle or . . . or . . .
Alex Flinn
True love would look a second time. True love would not be thwarted. True love would not accept no for an answer. He would search the world and certainly look again and again in every cottage in Euphrasia until he finds you.
Alex Flinn
I have a great deal of empathy for anyone who's having a hard time. I believe this ability to see another's viewpoint has served me well as a writer.
Alex Flinn
Any experience that isn't fun is probably something I will at least use in my writing someday.
Alex Flinn
I was painfully shy, and I had tremendous difficulty making friends. So, lacking friends, I watched other people. Watching is something all writers must do, and it was in junior high that I learned to do it.
Alex Flinn
Everyone can use a little beauty.
Alex Flinn
I write contemporary fiction, and that is what my readers want to read.
Alex Flinn
Those who do not know how to see the precious things in life will never be happy.
Alex Flinn
Seem like a lot of people wear shoes they can't walk in.
