More quotes by Alex Flinn
A shoe that fits one person pinches another.
Alex Flinn
This isn't a fairy tale. It's New York City.
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
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.
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.
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
People make such a big deal about looks, but after a while, when you know someone, you don't even notice anymore.
Alex Flinn
Something with inner beauty will live forever, like the scent of a rose.
Alex Flinn
Any experience that isn't fun is probably something I will at least use in my writing someday.
Alex Flinn
You shouldn't miss someone who don't miss you, right?
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
I am a princess. I do not follow fashions--I make them.
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.

A beautiful thing is precious no matter the price
Alex Flinn
In stories like Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, they always say the heroine is 'as good as she is beautiful.' I wondered if people just wanted that to be true, wanted the beautiful to be good. I wondered if they wanted the ugly to be bad because then they wouldn't have to feel bad for them.
Alex Flinn
The magic is over, but its effects will live forever.
Alex Flinn
What happened to romance? Sappy, soppy longhand love letters.
Alex Flinn
Maybe we judge people too much by their looks because it's easier than seeing what's really important.
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
I enjoy people who aren't afraid to say what they mean. It makes life so much easier!
