More quotes by 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
That's what true love should be like-the person should be part of your soul and you should know what they're feeling all the time.

This isn't a fairy tale. It's New York City.

A shoe that fits one person pinches another.
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
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 wrote poetry, journals, and, especially, plays for the neighborhood kids to perform. I had an ordinary, happy childhood. Nothing much was going on, but I had fun.

A beautiful thing is precious no matter the price
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
People make such a big deal about looks, but after a while, when you know someone, you don't even notice anymore.
Alex Flinn
Any experience that isn't fun is probably something I will at least use in my writing someday.
Alex Flinn
A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love-true love-is something else.

Seem like a lot of people wear shoes they can't walk in.
